St. Philomena Comments
Little is known of her life, and the information was received by private revelation from her. Martyred at about age 14 in the early days of the Church. In 1802 the remains of a young woman were found in the catacomb of Saint Priscilla on the Via Salaria. It was covered by stones, the symbols on which indicated that the body was a martyr named Saint Philomena. The bones were exhumed, cataloged, and effectively forgotten since there was so ...

When the nuns of the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus gave me the name of Philomena they didn't tell me much about the history of St. Philomena. However, I have always felt God's divine protection and guidance in important decisions that I make in my life. It was only this morning that I "happen" to come across this website and read the very complete account of my patron saint, and I'm sure St. Philomena has been busy intervening for me. I bless this day that I discovered her.
I learned about Saint Philomena at an orphanage in Mexico 17 years ago. The Priest in charge said that their contributions doubled in size as well as the number of children they were able to take in thanks for Saint Philomena. Not long after that our daughter conceived while doing heavy duty drugs. We told her about Saint Philomena and gave her a picture of the little Saint and she prayed for a healthy child for 9 months at which time she gave birth to a perfectly healty 9 lb 15 oz baby girl. She have our grandaughter the middle name of Phiomena. BLESSED BE GOD IN HIS ANGELS AND HIS SAINTS.
St. Philomena,
Please intercede for my healing, all needs, and all family concerns. thank you
I ask prayer for daughter and family, for sons to come back to Jesus and The Catholic Church, for plan to begin as soon as possible, for us to believe and follow Jesus and His mother Mary always. Thank you. God bless you all.
My wife found you , st philomena, and told me about you. I thank GOD. St philomena please intercede for me and my family in our endeavours, AMEN.
The story of how I know Saint. Philomena is a good one. My family and I went to a special mass and there was a foundation called" Treasures of the Church" which brought relics of different saints that included bone particles, pieces of flesh... And when I came to St. Philomena. When I touched it, I felt this small buzzing that soon extended to my spine and when I let go, it stopped. St. Philomena inspired me to live a holy life. I hope that when I die, I can meet you in heaven. God bless you,Saint. Philomena.

i heard of St Philomena way back in 1992. i was to be baptised on easter and did not want to have a christian name. my fren gave me a leaflet of St. Philomena feast day and convinced me to take this name cos St. Philo's feast falls on the day my son was killed by a crazy driver in front of our home. With pain and thinking that there must be a reason for this, i adopted this name & have not used it. Everyone calls me by my fist name & philo is only known to my hubby & daughters & the church registry. On my son's 1st anniversary of passing, my hubby, hurt & dejected, visited SFX church in Petaling Jaya during the charismatic prayer.There a member said that someone had requested a prayer to St. Philomena & had sent flowers. Surprised, he listened & returned home. To-day, curiosity has brought me back to seek St. Philomena's story & am happy that there are so many prayers answered thru' her. She must be Great. :)
Thank You St Philomena For Answering my prayers and refreshing my faith. I will continue to pray to you and let my family and friends know about you and your special Grace from Jesus our Lord. Thank You For My New Job
