St. Clare of Assisi - Although Clare came from a wealthy family she swore a vow of poverty after hearing a young man named Francis speak.  Clare soon became St. Francis' council and devoted herself to Christ by helping those in need.  The tradition that was also taken up with her younger sister St. Agnes.
