St. Philomena

We promote devotion to St. Philomena. This virgin martyr gave her life for Jesus Christ as an early Martyr of the Church. She is known as Powerful with God. You can pray to her for all causes, spiritual and temporal, and she will hear your prayer. St. John Vianney said: “To Saint Philomena God refuses nothing.”
