Saint Valpurga is the 5th of 6 saints from an English family who lived in the 700’s.
Daughter of St Wuna and St Richard of Wessex, niece of St. Boniface and sister of St Winebald and St Willibald.
Thanks to her early education, St Valpurga is credited by some as the first female writer from England and Germany!
She wrote what has been called the first ‘travel log’ which consisted of the travels of her older brother St WillIebald on a pilgrimage to Christian shrines.
St Valpurga helped her brother St Williebald found a double monastery, a community for both monks and nuns at Heidenheim. She headed the nuns there at the monastery and her eldest brother St Winebald became the head of the monks.
