My daughter chose St. Martin of Tours for her Confirmation saint. She loves him dearly.

We were in an Italian restaurant and she saw his picture on the wall (he's the patron of innkeepers among others). She told the proprietor that he was her Confirmation saint, and he insisted on taking the picture off the wall and presenting it to her!! She was thrilled!

What a marvelous story! I will treasure that!

My patron was “Michael the Archangel.” My family was filled with police and never one was harmed. He is “POWER” (as Fr. Corapi would say in his stellar bass!). I pray to him daily the Leonine prayer.
