St. Prisca

Facts
Virgin martyr also called Priscilla. Venerated in Rome at an early date, she was believed to have been martyred in the early persecutions and buried in the catacomb of Priscilla. Prisca had a church on the Aventine Hill dedicated to her, but scholars have been unable to document her life and martyrdom. Thus, since 1969, her cult has been limited to her Roman basilica.
