Ruggiero da Todi (Roger) received the habit from St. Francis of Assisi in 1236 and was appointed spiritual director of Blessed Philippa Mareri's Community at Rieti by Francis. Roger died at Todi, shortly after Philippa's death, on January 5, and his cult was confirmed by Pope Benedict XIV. His feast day is January 5.
