Blessed Jerome of Recanati

March 12

Jerome Ghirarducci of Recanati (died 1350) was best known as a peacemaker.

Little is known of the early life of Jerome Ghirarducci. He lived in the Augustinian Monastery in Recanati, Macerata, Italy.

As part of his ministry, he mediated numerous disputes between families and the city. It is said that he brought peace to the cities of Ascoli and Fermo, which had been at war with each other.

Jerome died March 12, 1350 in Recanati. His remains are preserved in the Church of Saint Augustine there.
