She is an amaizing saint and Emily is deffinently my confirmation name! :)
This site is my favorite. I was educated by Sisters of St. Joseph in Michigan in the 60's, and am thankful everyday for their good example. They truly were a group of educated, liberated women. I've often said, they were truly the first women's libbers, they just went about their fine work and education quietly. I did not know about their origins until now. Glad to read more about them.
Please Saint Emily de Vialar, please pray for Jacob that he finds the right path and for his parents that they find the strenght and wisdom to guide him, Thank you.
Thanks for your intercession, St. Emily; I am now fully recovered from hernia after the second operation and am physically well and fit. Please continue to pray for us.
Her congregation was "Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition." Okay, what was the appariton to which this names refers?
I find this site an inspiration and very informative, please keep up the good work.

Dear St. Emily reading your biography helped me a lot. I have to write a paragraph about you for my confirmation and I hope that when the day of my confirmation comes I hope you are there with me giving me the blessing of confirmation. Also when the day of my 15 comes help my parents realize that the only thing I want for my 15 is their love and support throughout my life. Also give me the strength, and brains so that i can finish high school and enter the world of college. Im not a very religious person but this article made me realize that even though you had hernia you still worked and worked and worked and dealed with it. And also please bless my family and friends that I love very much, and also my puppy Coco.
Dear St.Emily, please pray for me everyday. My daughter is suffering from thyroid cancer, please pray for her too. Thank you very much
Dear St. Emily, Please intercede for me, because I am sufferring from the same disease that you had! I had been operated once, but it has recurred. Pleas pray for me for the next surgery, to be carried out shortly.
There is a St. Joseph's hospital near my home, and right next to it is the convent where the Sisters of St. Joseph live. I live next door to Holy Family Cathedral and School, so the Sisters are a familiar, lovely and welcome sight in the neighborhood. Our block is truly blessed!
It is a wonderful service that is going on here. Thank you at Catholic.org for making it possible for us to have a minute to walk with the saints each day as we read about thier lives daily and say short prayers with them.
Saint Emily, I thank God for your life of service, both here and in Heaven and I pray please help me out of the darkness that I am in today , so that I can see light in my life. Amen
