The Catholic affection for saints has led to the tradition of adopting saints as patrons of particular causes, groups, and occupations. In The Patron Saints Handbook, you’ll learn about one hundred such saints. You’ll find out, for example, who St. Genesius was and why he is the patron saint of actors. You’ll discover why St. Therese of Lisieux, who spent her life in a cloistered French convent, is the patron saint of missionaries. You’ll meet the patron saint of firefighters, songwriters–and even astronauts.
• A great way to learn about the saints and why we should ask for their intercession.
• Conveniently arranged by topic with an alphabetical index of all saints who are featured in the book.
• A thoughtful gift for Confirmation or other special occasions.
