Sterling Silver Round St. Peregrine Necklace, 18"(18MM)

Peregrine Laziosi was canonized in 1726, and has been named the Patron Saint of those suffering from cancer. He was born in Forli, Italy around 1265. He politically opposed the papacy but after experiencing the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he became a priest and later established a Servite community. He spent his life dedicating himself to the sick and the poor. He imposed on himself the penance of standing whenever it was not necessary to sit. The night before the surgery, Peregrine prayed before the image of the crucified Christ, and when he awoke, the wound was healed and his leg saved. Peregrine’s trust in God therefore serves as a model for those dealing with sickness. The National Shrine of Saint Peregrine is located at Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica in Chicago, Illinois, and a St. Peregrine Shrine is also at The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother in Portland, Oregon. The Feast Day of Saint Peregrine is May 4.
