Patron Saints: The Common and Not So Common

We launched a new website within the last year and I'm still discovering new and useful aspects of it. Tonight I found that we have a (farily) comprehensive online chart of patron saints. The patron saint list is organized alphabetically and can be found on our FAQs page:

The list confirmed that some of the patron saints I know by heart:
St. Anne - patron saint of mothers
St. Christopher - patron saint of athletes
St. Francis - patron saint of animals

Others were not so obvious:
Got gout? St. Andrew.
Need a gift for a your child's dancing teacher? Try a St. Genesius patron saint medal.
And St. Patrick isn't just the patron saint of Ireland! Call on him if you get a snake bite!

Our list also includes feast days.

Enjoy!
