ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER Saints celebrated on the 8th of December WELCOME! SAINT PATAPIUS, HERMIT Saint Patapius was a hermit near Constantinople, according to others from Thebes in Egypt. He reached an old age and shone with sincere humility, which he showed more in his actions than in words. Miracles, e.g. the healing of a person with gout, a cancer patient, a possessed person etc. are ascribed to him . (Roman Martyrology) PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Patapius may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
