SAINT FEAST DAY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 27th of May SAINT RESTITUTA, MARTYR OF SORA Today, we also commemorate Saint Restituta.

PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Restituta 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.
