St. WALBURGA

Christian Saint

Also known as Walpurga

Abbess at Heidenheim

Her brothers St St. Willibald and St. Winebald, together with her uncle St. Boniface of Mainz persuaded her to leave Wimborne in Dorset and join them in converting heathens in Germany.

When you look at the amount of Saints in her family, you start to wonder if Sainthood is hereditary.
