Saint Germainewas born in 1579 at Pibrac, France. She came into the world with a deformed hand and the disease of scrofula, and, while yet an infant, lost her mother. Her father remarried but his new wife abused and neglected Germaine. She was often forced to sleep in the stable, was fed on scraps, and was employed almost from infancy as a shepherdess.

While tending the flock, she spent much of her time praying the rosary. Germaine attended daily Mass and left her flocks to the care of her guardian angel. Although povertystricken, she shared her meager meals with the poor and taught simple catechism to the town children. Upon being accused of stealing bread during the cold winter, she opened her apron, and summer flowers tumbled out. Neighbors and her parents were awed and began to treat her as a holy person. Her parents invited her to rejoin the household, but Germaine chose to live as she had.

She died in 1601 and was canonized in 1867.

Saint Germaine is recognized today as the patroness of the disabled. Her feast day is June 15th.
