St. Agatha's Is A Must-See The Next Time You Visit California
St. Agatha's Feast Day is February 5th, and in honor of this great saint, we invite you to join us on a pilgrimage!
But first, let's discuss St. Agatha and what makes her so special:
St. Agatha was a young Christian martyr who lived in 3rd-century Sicily during the Roman Empire’s persecution of Christians. She is believed to have been born into a noble family and dedicated her life to Christ, taking a vow of virginity. Her commitment to her faith and refusal to marry a Roman official led to her arrest and brutal torture.
She died as a martyr around 251 AD and is honored as the patron saint of breast cancer patients, nurses, and those suffering from natural disasters.
