- Monteagudo studied under nuns in her childhood and decided to become one following a vision she had of Saint Catherine of Siena showing her the Dominican habit.
- Her parents made the effort to dissuade her from this though she continued to pursue that path until she was inducted as a member of the Dominican Nuns.
- The religious became noted for her holiness and held leadership positions due to her wisdom and the esteem that others had for her.Pope John Paul II beatified Monteagudo in 1985 upon his apostolic trip to Peru.
