St. Andrew

Patron Saint of Fishermen
St. Andrew the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles called by Our Lord. The Church celebrates him as one of the close collaborators of Our Lord in His redemptive mission and as a foundation stone of the Church which will carry on this mission until the end of the world (Matthew 28:16-20; Rev. 21:14). Andrew is best known for being a fisherman and the brother of St. Peter - and for his martyrdom on an X-shaped cross. The Church celebrates his feast on November 30th.
