The reason for having so many patron saints and for having a male and female saint to intercede for us on each day is that the basic vocational charism of the community is open to people from all walks of life and of all ages. Allowing for the growth of the community, we have chosen patrons that could inspire all future members of COLW – religious and associate (ordained, married or single).
