Saint Veronica, patron saint of photographers, created the first photograph in history. When Christ was walking to Calvary, Saint Veronica stopped Him to wipe His face with her veil, as famously seen in the sixth station of the cross. When she did this, Jesus' face was miraculously imprinted on her veil, creating the first photograph in history. Veronica's veil lives in the Vatican and is one of the most treasured relics of the Catholic faith.
Under the namesake of the patron saint of photographers, Saint Veronica's Photography offers photography services of all things Catholic. We photograph Catholic weddings, first Holy Communions, Baptisms, Confirmation, Quinceañeras, Engagements, Engagement blessings, Anniversary Masses, Funeral Masses, Holy Orders/ordinations, Family portraits, Easter Vigils, Parish events, Rosary gatherings, Eucharistic Processions, Masses, and anything else related to our faith.
O my Jesus, Saint Veronica served You
on the way to Calvary by wiping Your beloved
face with a towel on which Your
sacred image then appeared.
She protected this treasure, and
whenever people touched it,
they were miraculously healed.
I ask her to pray for the growth
of my ability to see your sacred image in
others, to recognize their hurts,
to stop and join them on their difficult
journeys and to feel the same compassion
for them as she did for You.
Show me how to wipe their faces,
serve their needs, and heal their wounds,
reminding me that as I do this for them,
I also do this for You.
