St. Laura of Saint Catherine of Siena, also known as Laura Montoya y Upegui or María Laura de Jesus Montoya Upegui, was a remarkable figure in the Catholic Church. Born on May 26, 1874, in Jerico, Antioquía, Colombia, she dedicated her life to education and missionary work in South America1.

Her tireless advocacy for indigenous rights and her commitment to education left a lasting impact on the communities she served1. Saint Laura was canonized by Pope Francis on May 12, 2013.
