Patron Saints

Patron Saints
A Patron Saint is one which is important to a person for a specific reason. It can be for health reasons, or protection for just about any situation, or to watch over your children or pets. But did you know that there are Patron Saints for some cities, states, and countries? I didn't, until I was looking up Saints and their abilities, as well as their histories (I find their life stories very interesting, and enlightening as to how they came to be canonized).

Anyway, in my research I found that I had a .pdf on my computer that I'd downloaded from one site that was very informative, giving the Saint and their patronages (and some have quite a few!) While it was an informative piece, it led me to further the research to see what else I could find.

What I found I just had to share!

The "Catholic Online" site's Patron Saints pages have a huge selection of Saints, with them listed alphabetically. For those who work with Saints, or would like to, this is the place to go!  I know I'll be a regular visitor! (For some reason, the other site I had listed would not open.  I could go to their site from my Favorites, but it would not open in a link like it used to. So, I've given the Catholic Online's link instead, which is just as good).

Enjoy your searching!

  2. I changed it to another site. It worked originally, but for some reason it's not linking as it should now. "Catholic Online" is an excellent source as well. The other site was also a blog and radio site with lots of interesting articles. Oh well, this one is probably more accurate anyway, since it's associated with the Catholic Church! :) Thanks for the heads-up though, so I could fix it!
