St. Clare was a disciple of St. Francis of Assisi, & like him, founded an order in Assisi, called the "Poor Clares." When St. Clare was too sick to attend Holy Mass, she had a vision on her wall, of the Mass taking place, hence, the reason she was chosen to be the Patron Saint of television.

She is also known for saving Assisi from oncoming Saracens, during the Crusades, by coming out holding the Eucharist, with her order, standing around her praying. The enemies are said to have fled in panic.
