St. Frances of Rome (1384–1440) was a Roman Catholic mystic and the founder of the Oblate Congregation of Tor de’ Specchi, a religious community that works for the sick and the poor without taking formal vows. The community is associated with the Olivetan Benedictines. After her husband’s death in 1436, she became the superior of the community. She was canonized in 1608.
