CELEBRATING SAINT HELENA OF THE TRUE CROSS, PATRONESS OF THE DIOCESE OF HELENA

Who is Saint Helena and why is she a saint for our times? St. Helena was the mother of the emperor, Constantine, who in 313, with the Edict of Milan, ended the persecution of Christians and permanently established religious toleration for Christianity in the Roman Empire, changing world history. She is the patron saint of the Diocese of Helena and is most remembered as the discoverer of the True Cross of Jesus. She might also be called the Saint of Perseverance and the Saint of New Discoveries. Her name means “bright shining light” making her a fitting patroness for our beautiful Montana, “Land of the Bright Shining Mountains.”

Come, join us in celebrating her and asking her intercession for the needs of our Diocese, especially for our bishop, our priests and seminarians, and for priestly vocations.
