St. Emily de Rodat (1787-1852) taught children, opened thirty-eight convents in France, and expanded her services to include nursing the sick, poor and aged, visiting prisoners and orphans, and ministering to wayward women. Her feast day is September 19. This St. Emily medal is the size of a penny, made of fine sterling silver, and has the image of St. Emily skillfully embossed on the front of the medal along with the saint's name. The back of the saint's medal is blank which allows for personalized engraving, which we offer here at St. Patrick's Guild for the reasonable price of $9.95 for two lines of engraving.

Our St. Emily medal necklace makes an especially personalized inspirational gift for the young person who is making her Confirmation and has chosen Emily as her Confirmation name. The St. Emily medal comes packaged in a handsome hinged jewelry gift box.
