Honored as the patron saint of cancer patients, Saint Peregrine, a native of Italy suffered from cancer of the foot "until, as the result of a vision, he was miraculously cured. His feast day is May 1." (Source the Encyclopedia of the Saints)

Catholic Patron Saint Medals are great Gifts for a variety of occasions. They are among the top Confirmation Gifts but also have a place as a First Communion Gift or a RCIA Gift.
