St. Gabriel: Patron Saint of Telecommunication Workers, Radio Broadcasters, Postal Workers, Messengers
St. Raphael: Patron Saint of Travelers, Blind People, Nurses, Pharmacists, Physicians, Ill People
The three archangels whom the Church honors by name are St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael. They are also the only three angels who are mentioned by name in Sacred Scripture. The feast of all three Archangels is September 29. In the traditional calendar, this was St. Michael’s Feast day, with St. Gabriel’s being March 24 (the day prior to the Annunciation) and St. Raphael’s being October 24. Communities which celebrate the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite still celebrate the three feasts.

Guardian Angels

The Church celebrates in some way every aspect of the Divine Work – of creation, redemption, sanctification, and glorification. One aspect is the existence of spiritual creatures whom we call angels. The Church celebrates the Feast of the Guardian Angels on October 2. (continued below)

Our Lady of the Rosary

The Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7. On this day, we celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. Even though the Turkish forces were very powerful, the Christians won due to the intercession of Mary and the prayer of the Most Holy Rosary.

St. Carlo Acutis

Patron Saint of the Internet
Born in 1991, Carlo was in the middle of the Millennial generation. With a love for video games, films, sports, and normal “kid” activities, he showed us that everyday people can become holy. With wisdom far beyond his 15 years of life, Carlo now continues to teach us about Eucharistic devotion, evangelization, and love of the saints.
