Saint Concordia

Saint Concordia is remembered in the Church with quiet reverence, though few details of her life have come down to us. Tradition associates her with humble, life-giving service, and she is honored as a patron of nurses, wet nurses, and tutors—those who care for bodies and souls with patience, tenderness, and steadfast love. Her witness, marked by fidelity amid the uncertainties of her time, has made her a source of encouragement for all who serve in hidden ways. Saint Concordia is also venerated as a patron of České Budějovice, where the faithful have long sought her intercession. The Church keeps her feast on August 13, inviting us to ask for her prayers and to imitate her spirit of devoted care.
