The Patron of South African Catholic is a powerful Saint

Sancte Philomena Ora Pro Nobis.

Philomena as a saint for those in the field of Media

Little is known about the famous saint, virgin and martyr- she was a greek princess who had promised her virginity to Christ, and refused- to her violent death to break this promise- when the Roman Emperor tried to force a marriage, after threatening unjust war on her parent's nation.

Like any good Catholic journalist aspires to be- Philomena considered herself first a citizen of heaven- and refused any threats and advances against her dignity- including the fate of her small nation.

When miracles started happening around her remains- a Catholic religious, called a Canon, spoke of this to the Holy See.

Saint Philomena was canonized as a saint by the Pope, based purely on these miracles- the world knowing nothing of her.

Without any story of her life- another sort of information miracle occurred around her:

She spoke, if the sources are to be believed- as testified to by many separate people with the same basic story. One of these people, testifying to her intercession would also be canonized as a saint.

Philomena had a span of over a thousand years between her death and canonization. The powerful miracles attributed to her, and what she has been recorded as saying is all the world has to go on this saint- except her tomb.

19th Century science appeared to have disproved everything, because of issues with her burial stone. Despite the shock of those disagreeing with methods of archaeology maligned to disproved her, which are now no longer in use.

These were cleared up decades (over a century) later, when modern science relooked at her tomb.

Unfortunately she was removed from the calender before this, but retained her following.

For the amazing communication attributed to Saint Philomena- we have adopted her as our Patron Saint.
