Saint Michael the archangel is one of our patron Saints. Saint Michael is an archangel, a spiritual warrior in the battle of good versus evil. He is considered a champion of justice, a healer of the sick, and the guardian of the Church. In art Saint Michael is depicted with a sword, a banner, or scales, and is often shown vanquishing Satan in the form of a dragon. His day is September 29th.

Saint John the Evangelist is one of our patron Saints. St. John the Evangelist is one of the most important figures in the Catholic faith. He was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus, and his gospel is one of the four canonical gospels that are included in the New Testament. St. John the Evangelist is frequently depicted in religious art alongside an eagle. In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet describes a vision of God’s chariot with four living creatures possessing the faces of a human, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, which is often associated with the four evangelists. The eagle represents what comes from above, and John’s gospel focuses on Jesus as the incarnation of the divine Word. His day is December 27th.
