Feastday: May 15
Patron of National Rural Conference in the United States

St. Isidore was born at Madrid, Spain, in the latter half of the 12th century. For the greater part of his life he was employed as a laborer on a farm outside the city. Many marvelous happenings accompanied his lifelong work in the fields and continued long after his holy death. He was favored with celestial visions and, it is said, the angels sometimes helped him in his work in the fields. St. Isidore was canonized in 1622.

In 1947, he was proclaimed the patron of the National Rural Conference in the United States. He is the patron of farmers, and his feast day is May 15th.

Prayer : God, through the intercession of St. Isidore, the holy Farmer, grant that we may overcome all feelings of pride. May we always serve You with that humility which pleases You, through his merits and example.

As the wonderful Patron Saint of my Parish, St. Isidore Church, in Columbus, NE, I thank you for always watching over our parish and all of our needs. Please intercede for rain for our area; especially for the area farmers. Also, pray for God's will to be done in all our lives.

I must also point out that in many villages settled in places where there's been a farmer tradition for so long time we usually find St Isidore as the patron and we celebrate it in many different ways.
