St. Conrad of Piacenza (1290-1351 A.D.) was born of a noble family, got married, and took up residence in Piacenza. He got into a bind because of a hunting venture and had to sell all his possessions to pay for the damages. The event caused his conversion and made him decide to be a Franciscan tertiary while his wife became a Poor Clare nun. Because large crowds were attracted by his reputation, he moved to Noto in Sicily, where he lived for thirty more years. When he died, numerous miracles were reported at his tomb. Learn more
