Saints are Working for Us with Christine Rich

Christine Rich has learned the Saints are working for her in a very real way.

A number of years ago, Christine didn't understand why she felt drawn to choose Saint Valentine as her Saint of the Year.

Months later, God caught her attention when she realized that the morning she signed papers to leave the large, Catholic company she co-founded was Valentine’s Day.

After signing the papers, Christine went to pray at a local convent where Venerable Patrick Peyton had spent his final years. Christine even sat and prayed in his chair.

Years later, Christine's daughter and son-in-law would name their first child Peyton. Peyton was born on Valentine’s Day.
