This is the story of Stella Maris!

The Saints are the Sinners who Keep on Trying - Robert Louis Stevenson

This is the story of Stella Maris!

Our Lady & Star of the Sea
Patroness of Sailors
Invoked against the Stormy Seas of Life.

This is the story of Stella Maris, the patroness and “Star of the Sea.” She is the patroness of Fishermen, Captains and Sailors, the Navy and the Coast Guard, divers, swimmers, lifeguards and water polo players, and all others who have occasion to be on or in the water and seas. And while she is best known for protecting people on or near the water, she also looks after all of us who sail the stormy seas of life. Pray to Stella Maris, the Star of the Sea, whenever you feel like you are having trouble keeping your head above water.
