Roman Catholic AnswerSt. Scholastica was the sister of St. Benedict who founded the Benedictine order in the sixth century. All we really know about her is from St. Gregory the Great's Dialogues: she was St. Benedict's sister, traditionally known as his twin sister. He had a great affection for her, and appointed her to start the female Benedictine monastic family. They were buried in the same tomb. As this was many centuries before formal canonization policies were on the books, people were mainly acclaimed saints by the local people and then approved by the local Bishop. If Rome approved the cult, a Mass was written, and they were entered as a saint in the calendar.
