Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker — Fr. Paul O’Sullivan, O.P.
Paperback | ISBN 9780895555014 | TAN Books

Delve into the life, legend, and spiritual legacy of one of the Church’s most beloved yet mysterious saints in Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker. In this accessible and inspiring volume, Fr. Paul O’Sullivan recounts how the relics of a 13-year-old virgin martyr were discovered in the Roman Catacombs in 1802 — launching an era of widespread devotion to a “little saint” whose miracles and intercessory power earned her the title “Wonder-Worker.” 

Through vivid storytelling, O’Sullivan shares testimonies of miraculous favors, the role of St. Philomena in the life of the Curé of Ars, the dramatic connection to Pauline Jaricot, and many answered prayers from those who invoked her aid. Though her historical details remain scarce, this book emphasizes the enduring spiritual fruits of her faith and encourages renewed devotion in modern times. 

With appendices of prayers, novena, and litany, Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker is perfect for those seeking a heavenly advocate, especially in desperate or seemingly hopeless situations. Whether for personal reading, parish gifts, or devotional renewal, this compelling volume ignites hope, fosters trust, and invites readers to ask boldly for St. Philomena’s intercession.
