PATRON SAINTS' STORIES FOR BAPTISMAL NAMES

stories of patron saints for baptismal names

Christ Glorified in Heaven with All the Saints

by Fra Angelico (1428-30)

A patron saint is a saint whose name is the same or similar to your baptismal name or its origin.  Do you have a patron saint? Probably. Nearly every baptismal name is the name of a patron saint or is derived from a patron saint's name. Please check our on line directory of patron saints' names to see if your name is on the list. If so, you have a patron saint. If your name is not on the list, please contact us because we may have simply missed your name!

If your first name does not have a patron saint, your middle name probably does have one. We can provide patron saints for nearly all modern, trendy names as well as for traditional names. 

Our on line directory of patron saints' names is on this link.

Has your priest or another person told you that a name is not a saint's name? That is a common, understandable mistake. Many people do not realize that most names are derived from names of patron saints. We have over 10,000  names for which we can provide stories.

Your 400 word patron saint's story will be printed in calligraphy on 8 1/2 by 11 inch parchment like paper suitable for framing in an 8 x 10 inch frame.  Patron saints' stories make excellent gifts for baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, RCIA, birthdays, All Saints Day, and Christmas.  They take about two or three weeks to arrive, but, if you need a story sooner, please contact us. We'll see what we can do. A sample story is on this link.

HOW DO I ORDER? Make a list of the names for which you would like stories. Write clearly. Either postal mail or email the list to us. Include your name, address, phone number, and donation of your choice (checks made out to Saints' Stories, Inc.)  See this link for more information and for making  on-line donations.

HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I SEND? Saints' Stories, Inc., is a national, nonprofit, tax exempt 5Olc3 organization that subsists solely on donations. A reasonable range, depending on your means, is between one and ten dollars per story.

I just wanted to send a short note in thanks for sending the saint's information to me for Ralph. I . . . am appreciative for the time you took to produce it. . . . Have a bless day! --- Joseph R. Nelson

Thank you for your gracefull information. It's very nice to Jovina Tri Mekarsari, for she already know the origin of her own baptism name. It's been 35 years to realize what exactly her name means for her, and especially for me. May God give the very best blessings and joys for you and your family. Above all, both of me and Jovina also pray for you always.  ---Terima kasih. Tuhan Yesus dan Bunda Maria memberkati.---Jakarta. Indonesia. ---Best Regards, ---Adolfus Chrys Mulyadi
