ST. PATRICK RETABLO
St. Patrick's (389-461) work in Ireland was astounding: baptizing tens of thousands and establishing a native clergy and church. A native of Roman Britain, as a boy he was captured from Britain by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island. His work was a sign of tenacity and love in a land that had once held him in slavery. He has been honored since at least the 8th century as the patron saint of Ireland.
With her retablos, artist Ann Burt hopes to create renewed interest in the historical art of retablo making. Although they don't necessarily mimic the traditional look of the Mexican devotional paintings they recall, they share in their symbolism and purpose, which is to focus on prayerful devotion to God and the saints.

ST. CATHERINE LABOURÉ RETABLO
Saint Catherine Labouré (1806 – 1876) was a sister of the Daughters of Charity who as a young woman received a vision and request from the Blessed Virgin Mary to create the Miraculous Medal. Anonymously, through her confessor, the message was brought to the attention of the local archbishop, and the medals began to be produced, gaining immediate popularity. Catherine lived and worked her remaining years as an ordinary nursing sister, and only after her death was it revealed that it was she who had brought the Miraculous Medal to the world. The medal, which honors the Immaculate Conception, is worn by millions today.

ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI RETABLO
Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226) was born to a wealthy Italian family; after a carefree and worldly youth he renounced wealth and began to seek a spiritual life. Answering the call he heard in the crumbling church of San Damiano, "Francis, rebuild my church," he gathered followers and founded what became known as the Franciscan order. The Franciscans became known for joyful, simple worship and an embrace of poverty and humility in service. They preached conversion of heart and forgiveness as a way to peacemaking. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, the environment and Italy.
