St. Philomena: A Patroness of All of Us!

In case you were wondering, dear reader, our beloved St. Philomena is a special patroness of so many things!!  It seems that you can turn to her with any request and she will go before the Throne of God with it.

She is the patronness of:

desperate causes,
forgotten causes,
impossible causes,
lost causes,
causes that seem too insignificant to ask for assistance with,
chastity in the body,
purity of mind and heart,
young married couples,
expectant mothers,
new mothers,
family needs,
newborns,
infants,
babies,
toddlers,
children,
orphans,
young people,
Children of Mary,
Living Rosary,
poor people,
priests,
students,
test-takers,
those imprisoned,
those suffering,
the conversion of unbelievers and sinners,
 those returning to the sacraments,
and all spiritual and temporal problems

She is known to protect against:

financial difficulties,
mental illness,
infertility,
sickness,
and physical ailments (especially in matters of the heart)

♥ A Philomena Pfactoid:

Little Philomena exhibits her greatest patronage towards her devotees
by leading them to the love of Our Lord and Our Lady. ♥
