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 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 Agatha was born of a noble family
in Sicily in the third century and took vows
of virginity at a young age.
When she was pursued by a pagan consul
named Quintian, she rejected him resolutely.
Quintian had Saint Agatha arrested for being
a Christian and brought before him for
punishment. First, he sent her to live in a
brothel to try and corrupt her. Saint Agatha's
faith did not waiver and she was sent back
to Quintian for further torture. He then
ordered that she be stretched on a rack
and have her breasts cut off. Saint Peter
miraculously appeared to her afterwards
and restored her breasts. After hearing of her
healing, Quintian had Saint Agatha
rolled over burning coals until she died.
Saint Agatha is recognized today as the
patroness of those who suffer from breast
cancer. Her feast day is February 5th.
Saint Agatha, Pray for Us.
