Since I, like Robbo, don't have the slightest clue about any saints other than the ones in the Bible, I had to look this lass up. From her entry at the Catholic Forum, "From her earliest life, she paid no attention to this world, focused solely on the spiritual life. Founded the Congregation of Minims of the Sorrowful Mother who concentrate on ministering in hospitals and elementary schools to the sick, the aged, the lonely, and a prayer ministry for the poor. Since her death, her voice has been heard in the houses of her order, accompanying her sisters in song."
Her feast day(?) is 13th July, if I read the data correctly. And great, she haunts the houses of her order. Wonderful! I hope nobody calls the Ghostbusters. At least her heart seems to be in the right place, although I'd be interested in knowing what specific miracles were attributed to her in the canonization process.
For further information on this woman, here is an official(?) Vatican page on her.
