                         Saint Philomena  was a virgin martyr, whose bones were discovered in 
                                                                   the catacombs   in 1802.
                          Nothing is recorded or definitely known of her life, except what has been
                                                        learned from her final resting place.
                          Her canonisation was based on miracles wrought after the excavation of
                                                        her relics, at her intercession.
                         As far as we are aware, she is the only canonised saint who was so elevated
                      without access to any records of her life, as per the usual cononisation process
