The cause of religious education is very dear to St. Philomena.At the present time when there is so much controversy over school questions, St. Philomena ought to be involved earnestly and assiduously by Catholic parents, teachers, and children, that their rights may be safeguarded, that schools may continue to function without hindrance and embarrassment from anti-religious agencies, and that pupils may receive their just allotment of public benefits.
In countless instances in times of persecution in other countries, the saint has come to the rescue and saved schools from the relentless attacks of anti-clerical officials whose aim was to destroy religious influences.Principals do well to place their schools under her protection and burn a votive light before her image to ask her assistance. (St. Philomena, the Wonder Worker, pages 25-26)
