Veterans Day 2024

Today we give thanks to all of the men and women who serve or have served our country through their service in any of the branches of the United States Military. For your sacrifice and selflessness, we are all extremely grateful and know that without you, we would not be able to enjoy any of the freedoms of our great nation that we do today.

There are multiple patron saints of veterans and soldiers, including St. Martin of Tours, whose feast day we also celebrate today! Today we pray for all of the servicemen and women in our lives and ask St. Michael the Archangel, the defender of Heaven, and St. Martin of Tours for their intercession. St. Michael the Archangel and St. Martin of Tours, pray for us!
