Come and join us for Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary tomorrow, 3 January at 10.00 a.m. as we celebrate the feast day of St Geneviève, patron saint of Paris. She was born in Nanterre of Gaulish parents, became a nun at the age of 15 and was supported by St Germanus of Auxerre who had known her from childhood. She was said to have persuaded all the women of Paris to say a prayer marathon in order to keep the Frankish king Childeric away from the city, and achieved the same feat in diverting Attila and his Huns from Paris, which was spared. The church of Ss Peter and Paul was built by the king Clovis (his wife Clothilde had converted to Christianity) to house Geneviève's relics, but the church decayed and at the Revolution the Pantheon was built over the site.
