Year 4 St Leoba

St Leoba (c. 710 – 28 September 782) was an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine nun and is recognised as a saint. In 746 she and others left Wimbourne Minster in Dorset to join her kinsman, Boniface, in his mission to the German people. She was a learned woman and was involved in the foundation of nunneries in Kitzingen and Ochsenfurt. . Leoba was acclaimed for many miracles: saving a village from fire; saving a town from a terrible storm; protecting the reputation of the nuns in her convent; and saving the life of a fellow nun who was gravely ill – all accomplished through prayer.
