== Origin of the name ==
 
 
 
The Priory is named after a 4th-century Roman Catholic named Saint Catherine of Alexandria, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and the patron of philosophers and scholars. According to legend she was an extremely learned young person of noble birth who protested the persecution of an early minority group and who was able to defeat the most eminent scholars summoned to oppose her. Sentenced to death for converting to Christianity, the spiked wheel by which she was to be killed broke when she touched it. She is a notel virgin martyr and St. Joan of Arc claimed that Catherine was among the heavenly voices that guided her.
 
 
 
The group was conceived by Cristiana de Huntington, Aelisia of Cambrewell, Charles de Bourbon, and their students in 2018??. The Priory maintains a strong emphasis on arts & sciences, immersive camping, historical research, and being a safe space for all members. The Priory has become widely known for ... being AMAZING!
