St. Philomena died a martyr when she was 13. Not much was known about her when her remains were found. Somewhere around 1805 is when the true devotion to her began. I am going to write more about her history soon.
Saint Philomena.com shares that St. Philomena is known to be especially powerful in cases involving conversion of sinners, return to the Sacraments, expectant mothers, destitute mothers, problems with children, unhappiness in the home, sterility, priests and their work, help for the sick, the missions, real estate, money problems, food for the poor and mental illness. But truly, as her devotees discovered, no case, of whatever matter, is too trivial or too unimportant to concern her.
There is something amazing about this saint that is moving myself and many others. Check her official Italian site out here.
