Profile
Mother of Our Lady. Grandmother of Jesus Christ. Wife of Saint Joachim. Probably well off. Tradition says that Anne was quite elderly when Mary was born, and that she was their only child. The belief that Anne remained a virgin in the conception and birth of Mary was condemned by the Vatican in 1677. Believed to have given Mary to the service of the Temple when the girl was three years old. Devotion to her has been popular in the East from the very early days of the Church; widespread devotion in the West began in the 16th century, but many shrines have developed since.

Profile
Anthony’s wealthy family wanted him to be a great nobleman, but for the sake of Christ he became a poor Franciscan. Priest.
When the remains of Saint Berard and his companions, the first Franciscan martyrs, were brought to be buried in his church, Anthony was moved to leave his order, enter the Friars Minor, and go to Morocco to evangelize. Shipwrecked at Sicily, he joined some other brothers who were going to the church in Portiuncula. Lived in a cave at San Paolo leaving only to attend Mass and sweep the nearby monastery. One day when a scheduled speaker failed to appear, the brothers pressed him into speaking. He impressed them so that he was thereafter constantly travelling, evangelizing, preaching, and teaching theology through Italy and France.
A gifted speaker, he attracted crowds everywhere he went, speaking in multiple tongues; legend says that even the fish loved to listen. Miracle worker. One of the most beloved of saints, his images and statues are found everywhere – though none of them portray him as a heavy-set man, which some reports claim he was. Proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946.
One source of the well-known patronage for the recovery of lost objects comes from a legend that, long after Anthony’s death, his old prayer book was kept as a treasured relic, and one day it disappeared. People prayed for help in finding the lost item, a novice found it and returned it; he later admitted that he had “borrowed” the book and returned it after receiving a vision of an angry Anthony.

Feast Day:
Eastern Calendar - 06/19
Roman Rite Calendar - 10/28
Tridentine Calendar - 10/28
Patron Of:
Desperation, Hopeless Cases, Impossible Situations
Profile
Son of Cleophas, who died a martyr, and Mary who stood at the foot of the Cross, and who anointed Christ's body after death. Brother of Saint James the Lesser. Nephew of Mary and Joseph; blood relative of Jesus Christ, and reported to look a lot like him. May have been a fisherman. Apostle.
Writer of canonical letter. Preached in Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia with Saint Simon. Healer. Exorcist. Could exorcise pagan idols, which caused the demons to flee and the statues to crumble.
His patronage of lost or impossible causes traditionally derives from confusion by many early Christians between Jude and Judas; not understanding the difference between the names, they never prayed for Jude's help, and devotion to him became something of a lost cause.
Died
beaten to death with a club, then beheaded post-mortem in 1st century Persia; relics at Saint Peter's, Rome, at Rheims, and at Toulouse, France
Name Meaning
sweetness or gentleness of character (Thaddeus)

Also known as
Filomena; Filumena; Philumena; Philomene; Thaumaturga of the Nineteenth Century; Wonder Worker of the Nineteenth Century
Memorial
11 August; cultus suppressed in 1961 by Pope John XXIII due to the lack of historical information
Profile
Little is known of her life, and the information was have was
received by private revelation from her. Martyred at about age 14 in
the early days of the Church.
In 1802 the remains of a young woman were found in the catacomb of
Saint Priscilla on the Via Salaria. It was covered by stones, the
symbols on which indicated that the body was a martyr named Saint
Philomena. The bones were exhumed, cataloged, and effectively forgotten
since there was so little known about the person.
In 1805 Canon Francis de Lucia of Mugnano, Italy was in the
Treasury of the Rare Collection of Christian Antiquity (Treasury of
Relics) in the Vatican. When he reached the relics of Saint Philomena
he was suddenly struck with a spiritual joy, and requested that he be
allowed to enshrine them in a chapel in Mugnano. After some
disagreements, settled by the cure of Canon Francis following prayers
to Philomena, he was allowed to translate the relics to Mugnano.
Miracles began to be reported at the shrine including cures of cancer,
healing of wounds, and the Miracle of Mugnano in which Venerable
Pauline Jaricot was cured a severe heart ailment overnight. Philomena
became the only person recognized as a Saint solely on the basis of
miraculous intercession as nothing historical was known of her except
her name and the evidence of her martyrdom.
Pope Leo XII granted permission for the erection of altars and
churches in her honor. Pope Gregory XVI authorized her public
veneration, and named her patroness of the Living Rosary. The cure of
Pope Pius IX, while archbishop of Imola, was attributed to Philomena;
in 1849, he named her patroness of the Children of Mary. Pope Leo XIII
approved the Confraternity of Saint Philomena, and raised it to an
Archconfraternity. Pope Pius X raised the Archconfraternity to a
Universal Archconfraternity, and named Saint John Vianney its patron.
Saint John Vianney himself called Philomena the New Light of the Church
Militant, and had a strong and well-known devotion to her. Others with
known devotion to her include Saint Anthony Mary Claret, Saint
Euphrasia Pelletier, Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini, Saint John
Nepomucene Neumann, Saint Madeline Sophie Barat, Saint Peter Chanel,
Saint Peter Julian Eymard, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, and Venerable
Pauline Jaricot.
