The “Chaplet of St. Peregrine” is a powerful prayer devotion that honors St. Peregrine Laziosi, a 13th-century Italian priest and patron saint of cancer patients, whose own miraculous healing from cancer stands as a beacon of hope for those afflicted by the disease. This chaplet serves as both a meditation on St. Peregrine’s faith and miraculous cure, and as a vehicle for seeking his powerful intercession for those battling cancer and other serious illnesses.
