Saint of the Day, August 30: Saint Jeanne Jugan

St. Jeanne Jugan (1792-1879): As a teenager, Jeanne developed a special love for the aged, particularly poor widows. She went door to door collecting money to care for them. Attracting followers with her work, she founded the Little Sisters of the Poor and served as superior.
