Click on picture to read about St. Genevieve. Patroness of Paris. I guess this means I'll have to go to Paris in 2009........PRAYER TO SAINT GENEVIEVE................Loving Saint Genevieve, fair patron saint of Paris, lead us in your path of courage and valor. May we fearlessly defend what is right and true, may we turn not away from the fear and anguish of others but stand beside them as you did, and by your holy example help us to find eternal life among the warrior princes of the archangels, and all who serve God and His truth without reservation. (by G. Albert)

Saint Isidore - O tiller of the soil, dear St. Isidore, it is said that while you labored in the field, "your hand was on the plow but your heart was ever blessed with the thought of God." Now that you are with our Lord in Heaven, ask Him to give us the grace to become accustomed to offer our daily toil to Him; ask Him to bless our land and our home and our harvest; ask Him to bless us in time and in eternity. Amen St. Isidore the Farmer Feast day: May 15th(b. 1070 – d. 1130) Spanish saint and patron saint of farmers and farmworkers
