Best Answer

Ita was born to the Irish nobility, possibly a member of the royal family. She refused to marry, and eventually received her father's blessing to live a celibate life. She founded the convent at Hy Conaill, County Limerick, Ireland, which attracted large numbers of nuns. Ita also founded a school for boys in Killeedy. One of her students was Saint Brendan. Ita is second only to Saint Brigid in popular Irish devotion. Many extravagant miracles have become associated with her including healing a man who had been decapitated, and living solely off food delivered from heaven.
