Saint Colette of Corbie, P.C.C., (†1447) was a French abbess and the foundress of the Colettine Poor Clares, a reform branch of the Order of Saint Clare. She is honored as a saint in the Catholic Church. Due to a number of miraculous events claimed during her life, she is venerated as the patron saint of women seeking to conceive, expectant mothers, and sick children. She was canonized in 1807 by Pope Pius VII and her Feast day is celebrated on March 6.
