Patron Saint of Those Facing Opposition
The Catholic Church venerates St. Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception as the patron saint of those facing opposition. Patron saints are heavenly intercessors — believers entrust a place, profession, or struggle to a saint whose own life touched it, and ask for their prayers before God.
