Prayer is an essential tool for healing and is an excellent source of comfort,
courage and strength for those who are suffering. During times of illness,
disease or a life challenge, nothing is more important than to offer prayer
and to join with others in assurance of these prayers.
In addition to prayer, the Saints protect us against harm, help strengthen our
faith and offer spiritual guidance and healing. They are our models of prayer
and their intercession helps present powerful prayers of healing to God on
our behalf.
Our new Patron Saints of Healing line offers hope and comfort to those who
seek healing through the intercession of the Saints. Each holy card and medal
set includes a high-quality prayer card that contains novena prayers specific
to the affliction, a short biography of the patron saint and an oxidized silver

Saint Germaine was born in 1579
at Pibrac, France. She came into the world with
a deformed hand and the disease of scrofula,
and, while yet an infant, lost her mother. Her
father remarried but his new wife abused and
neglected Germaine. She was often forced to
sleep in the stable, was fed on scraps, and was
employed almost from infancy as a shepherdess.
While tending the flock, she spent much
of her time praying the rosary. Germaine
attended daily Mass and left her flocks to the
care of her guardian angel. Although povertystricken,
she shared her meager meals with the
poor and taught simple catechism to the town
children. Upon being accused of stealing bread
during the cold winter, she opened her apron,
and summer flowers tumbled out. Neighbors
and her parents were awed and began to treat
her as a holy person. Her parents invited her
to rejoin the household, but Germaine
chose to live as she had.
She died in 1601 and was canonized in 1867.
Saint Germaine is recognized today as the
patroness of the disabled. Her feast day is June 15th.
Saint Germaine, Pray for Us.
