Here’s another clue:

He is quite possibly one of the most invoked Saints by students
 
  1. He was a Maronite monk.
  2. Arguably the most renowned saint of the Maronite Church.
  3. Performs many miracles.
 
  1. Lived in Alexandria
  2. Was one of the saints who appeared to Saint Joan of Arc.
  3. Associated with a wheel.

1.Daughter to an early Saiint and sister to another
2. Wealthy Roman socialite
3. Collected the blood of the martyrs and deposited it in a dry cistern at her house (so it wouldn’t be desecrated) which can still be venerated to this day

St. Cecelia? I’ve been in her house/church. Fascinating, as is Maderno’s statue of her incorrupt body.

Nope. As far as we know, St. Cecilia didn’t have any siblings. This saint’s family is well documented.

Another hint: Both her and her sister’s homes in Rome are ancient churches

St. Prudentiana. Correct.

Her father was St. Prudens and her sister was St. Prassede
 
I actually think it is without the “r”—Pudentiana and Pudens, although no doubt there are variant spellings. Love those ancient Roman house churches!
 
  1. Liked to pray in the catacombs
  2. Once shaved off half his beard, dressed in rags, acted insane, and begged at the door of his own church to see if his parishioners would actually show him charity. (They didn’t.)
  3. Once a novice master of another order brought one of his novices to him. The saint slapped him as hard as he could on the cheek to see if the novice would turn the other one to be struck again.
