ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS   (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.)

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER   Saints celebrated on the 13th of December Prayer to the Angels and the Saints Heavenly Father, in praising Your Angels and Saints we praise Your glory, for by honouring them we honour You, their Creator.

Grant that we who aspire to take part in their joy may be filled with the Spirit that blessed their lives,
