You'd never know _that_, if you looked at eBay. Medals, chaplets and
"relics" of Philomene abound, right along with St. Michael, St.
Peregrine, St. Anthony and other popular saints.
As I recall, her cult was indeed strongly de-emphaized in the 1960s
and 1970s, but she seems to have enjoyed a resurgence in popular
culture in recent years.
