Join the Catholic Apostolate Center in commemorating the of St. Rose of Lima | St. Rose of Lima was born Isabel Flores de Oliva in what is now modern-day Peru in 1586. In 1597, upon her confirmation, she took the name Rose. Although admired for her physical beauty, Rose would often cut her hair and dirty her face, wanting instead to live a life virginity. As she grew, she would help care for the sick and poor of the city, selling her handmade needlework, lace, and embroidery to care for her family and those in need. Though her parents forbade her from becoming a nun, Rose instead became a lay member of the Dominican Order. She spent the remaining years of her life in prayer, solitude, and care for the poor. She died in 1617 at 31 years of age. She was beatified in 1667 by Pope Clement IX and canonized in 1671 by Pope Clement X, the first declared saint born in the Americas.
