Our Patron Saint
The record of the passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicity, and their companions is one of the greatest hagiological treasures that has come down to us. In the fourth century, these acts were publicly read in the churches of Africa and were so highly esteemed, St. Augustine found it necessary to issue a protest against their being revered to the same degree as the Holy Scriptures. In them, we have preserved for us the actual words of St. Perpetua herself.
