Everybody, directly or indirectly, has been affected by cancer. This booklet looks at the life of St Peregrine Laziosi, a medieval monk of the Servite order whose courage and devotion in the face of serious illness has been of great help to all who know his story. Devotion to St Peregrine among the sick is growing and this booklet contains prayers and devotions to him.
