2008 is drawing to a close, which means that it's time to find out who your Patron Saint for 2009 will be. There's something rather appealing about the idea of getting a saint assigned to you by someone else, because it feels as if the saint is actually choosing you !My patron this year was St. Peter Chrysologus. I can't wait to find out who I get next year!
Angela Messenger is kindly undertaking this mammoth task... only, precisely because it is such a mammoth task, she is imposing a closing date, which is December 1st 2008. By my reckoning, that leaves two weeks to put in a request.
Good luck.
Mantilla-twitch to Adrienne, who reminded me about the assignment of Patron Saints!
We’d just like to let you know about two new posts on our blog. The first is a report of a Mass in the Traditional Latin/Gregorian Rite in Co. Laois, Ireland.

The second post is a report of news, just received, of a weekly Mass in Co. Meath, Ireland.

I hope that you’ll be able to feature both reports. Feel free to lift photos.
God bless you!

Take St. Conleth of Kildare! Go on! You know Providence wants you to!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your Patron Saint idea is great! May I use it also for my newsletter and blog? Where do you get your saints? And may I link to your blog--actually, I kinda think I did, already. Sorry, presumptious of me.
ReplyDeleteMay I have a saint also? I'm kind of tired of praying for my husband. I'd like a saint to take over that job. He's a good man but a non practicing Catholic. Maybe he's just lazy. I really think he needs a Saul to Paul experience. Saul was a good guy, too. Paul was more perfect. Oh well.....you get the idea.
Happy Feast of Christ the King.
It certainly is a great idea... unfortunately, not one to which I can lay claim!! Click on the links in the post, leave a message, and Angela will find you a saint... but hurry, she's stopping after December 1st.
