One of the most popular saints among Catholics is Saint Philomena, patroness of impossible causes. As Saint John Vianney said: “To Saint Philomena God refuses nothing.” Or as Pope Gregory XVI said: “Whatever you ask from her, she will obtain for you”.
Her shrine in Italy at Mugnano de Cardinale, Avellino, is a short distance from Naples. Churches around the world will honor her on her Feast Day August 11th.
