St. Nicholas was born at St. Angelo in Italy in 1245. He practiced more than ordinary virtue from his early infancy. His extraordinary merit as a young student caused him to be appointed to a canonry, a position that allowed him to be constantly employed in God’s service. An Augustinian friar preached a sermon on the vanity of the world which caused Nicholas to enter the Augustinian Order at Tolentine. He spent the greater part of his life in Tolentine, thus, the surname was given him. He distinguished himself by his virtue, sanctity, and humility. He was sent to several convents of his Order, and he was ordained priest by the Bishop of Osimo. From then on his ministry was preaching and hearing confessions. God gave him many heavenly gifts, but he also suffered from various painful diseases. He died on September 13, 1306.
