SAINT OF THE DAY APRIL 27 ST. ZITA OF LUCCA, VIRGIN At the age of twelve, Zita went to work as a servant for a noble family in Lucca. Despite mistreatment, she always had a smile on her face and was always ready to assist the poor. The family eventually recognised her gifts, and entrusted her with the running of the household until her death in 1278. ST. SIMEON, BISHOP OF JERUSALEM AND MARTYR
