St. Clare of Assisi -- born July 16, 1194, died August 11, 1253 -- founded the Order of Poor Ladies, a monastic religious order for women commonly referred to today as the Poor Clares.
In 1958, she was declared by Pius XII to be the Patron Saint of Television.
1253 - nun dies.
1941 - commercial TV begins in U.S.
