St. Ivo - patron saint of advocates



St. Ivo was a lawyer who lived in the thirteen century. He lived an ascetic life as he advocated for the poor. After he retired, he spent a great deal of time building a hospital with his own funds and preaching at his church.

St. Ivo -guide us as we try to help those who are less fortunate. Give us discernment to know when patience is required. Help us to take the proper actions in the best interest of the greater good.
