Saint Agatha
February 5 is the feast day of St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr. She's one of the many incredible saints in the early history of the Catholic Church, invoked in the First Eucharistic Prayer along with Saints Felicity, Perpetua, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, and Anastasia.
Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains why St. Agatha merits this great honor, and why she is the patron saint of so many different people, from martyrs, breast cancer patients, bellmakers, and bakers to fire and earthquake victims.
