A House of Saints

Saint Agatha is the patron saint of several things, primarily breast cancer patients, rape victims, and those suffering from fire and natural disasters. She is also the patron saint of nurses and the city of Catania, Sicily.

Our Lady of Lourdes is known for the Marian apparitions that Saint Bernadette Soubirous witnessed in Lourdes, France, in 1858. These apparitions, where the Virgin Mary identified herself as the Immaculate Conception, led to the site becoming a major pilgrimage destination, renowned for its healing waters and the belief in miraculous cures.
