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 Dymphna was the daughter of an
Irish chieftan, named Damon, and beautiful devoted
Christian woman whose name has never been
known. Her mother died when she was only 14.
Wrought with grief over his wife's death, Damon
became mentally ill and began to search for a new
bride resembling his wife. When none could be found,
his maddened grief lead him to make advances on his
beautiful daughter.
Saint Dymphna fought off his advances and
fled to Belgium. After an extensive search,
her father found her in Gheel, Belgium.
Damon demanded that she return with him
to Ireland. When she refused, he drew his sword
in rage and struck off her head.
The crown of martyrdom was bestowed upon Saint
Dymphna about the year 620. Many people suffering
with Alzheimer's Disease have been miraculously
healed at Saint Dymphna's shrine in Gheel, Belgium.
Saint Dymphna is recognized today as the
patroness of those who suffer from Alzheimer's
Disease. Her feast day is May 15th.
Saint Dymphna, Pray for Us.
