My Name Is Philomena: A Saint’s Story

By Fr. Peregrine Fletcher, O.Praem · Published by TAN Books

Overview

In this beautifully illustrated children’s book, the virgin‑martyr Saint Philomena recounts her own story—from her origins as a Greek princess to her courageous martyrdom for Christ. Readers follow her journey of faith and virtue as she rejects earthly power, embraces purity, and overcomes darkness. This vivid retelling brings a lesser‑known saint to life for families and youth through a narrative rooted in Christian witness. 

  • Retells the touching and heroic life of Saint Philomena in simple, child‑friendly language. 
  • Features striking illustrations that bring the saint’s story to life and engage young readers.
  • Presents a compelling model of courage, purity, and faith for children and adolescents. 
  • Makes a worthy addition to family libraries, homeschool collections, parish youth bookshelves, or children’s devotional reading. 
  • Encourages prayer, reflection, and spiritual identity by connecting young readers with a powerful saintly intercessor. 

Intended Audience

For children and families seeking faithful, virtue‑centered stories from the lives of the saints, and for parents, catechists, or youth ministers wishing to introduce a powerful example of Christian holiness and martyrdom to younger readers.

Key Themes

  • Courage and fidelity to Christ even unto death
  • Purity, innocence, and youthful sanctity
  • Faith‑rooted identity and spiritual witness
  • The power of sacrifice and divine intercession

Editorial Reviews

Susan Hilliard (Caretaker of the National Shrine of St. Philomena, USA & Executive Board Member of the Universal Archconfraternity of St. Philomena, Italy)

My Name is Philomena is a long awaited "Children's" book on the life of St. Philomena, Virgin Martyr, whose life ended at the age of 13. It is beautifully illustrated and well written according to the historical story of her life. It should be in every home library where children can read it often. A helpful story to instill the love of God in all children, who need to have him in their thoughts.”

Colleen Carroll Campbell (Award-winning author of The Heart of Perfection, My Sisters the Saints, and The New Faithful)

“In this beautifully illustrated, poetic retelling of a lesser-known martyr’s life, Fr. Peregrine Fletcher gives today’s children a compelling model of the very virtues they’ll need to be tomorrow’s saints: courage, purity, and rock-solid faith. Read My Name Is Philomena to your own little ones and pray that God will make them a light in the darkness of their age, just as Philomena was in hers.”

Kathleen Beckman (Author and Speaker,Praying for Priests, A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare, Beautiful Holiness)

My Name Is Philomena: A Saint’s Story is a brilliant work of art; a story to be savored by every Catholic! This lovely and original presentation of St. Philomena who is a powerful intercessor, especially for men, women and children who struggle with spiritual battles, is a moving feast for the heart. Fr. Peregrine Fletcher's book is a gift to the Church. May every Catholic home receive this gift. Ponder and pray as you turn these pages. Your heart will be enriched. Highly recommended!”

Kathryn Griffin Swegart (Award-winning author of Lucia of Fatima)

“With an artistic style reminiscent of Tomi dePaola, Father Peregrine Fletcher masterfully tells the little known tale of the martyr Saint Philomena. ”
