A patron saint is
a saint whose name is the same or similar to
your baptismal name or its origin. Do you
have a patron saint? Probably. Nearly every
baptismal name is the name of a patron saint or
is derived from a patron saint's name. Please
check our on line directory of patron saints'
names to see if your name is on the list. If so,
you have a patron saint. If your name is not on
the list, please contact us because we may have
simply missed your name!
If your first
name does not have a patron saint, your middle
name probably does have one. We can provide
patron saints for nearly all modern, trendy
names as well as for traditional names.
Our on line
directory of patron saints' names is on this
link.
Has your priest
or another person told you that a name is not a
saint's name? That is a common, understandable
mistake. Many people do not realize that most
names are derived from names of patron saints.
We have over 10,000 names for which we can
provide stories.
Your 400 word patron
saint's story will be printed in calligraphy on
8 1/2 by 11 inch parchment like paper suitable
for framing in an 8 x 10 inch frame. Patron
saints' stories make excellent gifts for
baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, RCIA,
birthdays, All Saints Day, and Christmas.
They take about two or three weeks to arrive,
but, if you need a story sooner, please contact
us. We'll see what we can do. A sample story is
on this
link.

Thank you so much for all of the patron
stories for the children in my homeschool co-op
class. I can't wait to give them out! -- Lori

This is a letter to request Saints Stories for my second
grade Religious Education class. . . Thank you so much for
this awesome ministry! I always put the stories in a frame
for each child and I cannot begin to tell you how happy they
are to know about their patron saints. . . God bless you
abundantly! -- Loretta Jacobs
I just wanted to send a short note in thanks for sending
the saint's information to me for Ralph. I . . . am
appreciative for the time you took to produce it. . . . Have
a bless day! --- Joseph R. Nelson
Thank you for
your graceful information. It's very nice to
have a story for Jovina Tri Mekarsari, for she already know the
origin of her own baptism name. It's been 35
years to realize what exactly her name means for
her, and especially for me. May God give the
very best blessings and joys for you and your
family. Above all, both of me and Jovina also
pray for you always. ---Terima kasih. Tuhan

Thank you so
much for the beautiful saint stories! God bless
you in all you do! --Sincerely, Cheryl Rehmann
I got all the stories and can't wait to give
them out - they look beautiful - thank you so,
sooooo much. I just know my students will love
them all. Thank you for everything you do. You
have a wonderful ministry! God bless you,
Gloria (Costanza) :-)
This is what I was looking for. This is
fantastic. Thank you so much for taking the time
to do this. I was often bothered by my nephew's
name not being traditionally a saint's name. Now
I know it is. His name is Hayden, now I can put
my mind at peace. Thank you so much. I will pass
this list link on to my parish, for I know there
were others at the mission who had trouble
finding the list. (Lynn Canterbury)
