Frances Alice Forbes

Mother Frances Alice Monica Forbes, RSCJ, a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart from Scotland and a religious author. She was born in 1869 into a Presbyterian family. Her mother died when she was a child. In 1900 she became a Roman Catholic. Only a few months later, she entered the Society of the Sacred Heart, as a 31-year-old postulant.

She wrote numerous books, including brief biographies of Ignatius Loyola, John Bosco, Teresa of Ávila, Saint Columba, Saint Monica, Saint Athanasius, Catherine of Siena, Saint Benedict, Hugh of Lincoln, Vincent de Paul, and, most famously, Pope Pius X.
