Your Patron Saint for 2021

Now that you have determined your Patron Saint for 2021...

It is an IHM tradition to choose the following each New Year:

1. Your Patron Saint to learn about and grow closer to throughout the year

2. A Virtue to focus on throughout the year

3. An Intention to pray for throughout the year

The Virtue and Intention are connected to your Patron Saint, so you will begin by researching your Patron Saint and determining the following:

1. What is one virtue (a habit of doing good) that your Patron Saint really developed throughout his or her life that you can ask God for the grace to help you with throughout the year?

2. What did your Patron Saint do throughout his or her life? What is one intention you could pray for throughout the year that is related to your Patron Saint?

For example:

1. You chose St. Joseph as your Patron for 2020.

2. The Virtue you would focus on is Interior Silence.

3. The Intention you could pray for would be The unemployed.
