St Peregrine Ministry Mission Statement
Inspired by Mary at the foot of the Cross, and by our brother friar St. Peregrine, OSM, patron saint of those living with cancer, we Servites accompany and support persons who suffer from serious illness, especially cancer, along with their loved ones and caregivers. We offer our faith, compassion and prayerful intercession, that they may experience hope, peace and the healing presence of God in their lives.
St. Peregrine Novena Publication
It should be consoling to every sick person to know that he or she does not suffer alone. Throughput the world, others are afflicted as well. All of us, by our crosses and trials, can assume an active role in the work of redemption. St. Peregrine, miraculously healed of a cancerous wound, assisted Christ in this noble apostolate of suffering through his own experience of illness and pain. There is significance in the fact that St. Peregrine was healed at the foot of the cross. The miracle might have occurred in a sick bed or a shrine. But it didn’t. St. Peregrine’s healing took place before the cross where all who are sick must eventually find themselves if they wish to participate in the redemptive action of Jesus Christ.
St. Peregrine was a labor brother and porter of the Servite Monastery in his hometown of Forli, Italy. In this book you will learn the real story of St. Peregrine with letters from those who have sought his intercession for serious illness. They share how God is helping them to cope with their illness. Included is a nine day novena in honor of St. Peregrine, OSM based on the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the Healer; St. Peregrine, OSM the Helper has original illustration and poetry by Fr. Chris Krymski, OSM.
