A new liturgical year = new patron saints
Each year, at the start of Advent, we each pick saints who will be our patrons for the year. These are saints that we have chosen, or who have chosen us. We learn about our saints throughout the year … we pray to our saints … we try to imitate our saints.
So here are our saints this year:
HotRod (12):
St. Ignatius of Loyola ( a good Basque saint and found of the Jesuits!)
Kit (14):
St. Theresa of the Andes
HamBone (15):
St. Michael the Archangel (a great protector of teens!)
Me (too old to mention):
St. Terese of Avila
dh (also too old to mention):
Pope Saint John XXIII (a modern saint with classic Catholic ideals)
We will pray for you all, through the intercessions of our patrons, throughout the year!
