There’s a good chance that dad knows that Francis Xavier is the patron saint of the archdiocese of Indianapolis, Indiana. He might even know that Therese of Lisieux is the patron saint of the diocese of Fairbanks, Alaska.
But I’d bet that even Dad would be hard pressed to come up with the patron saint of goitres (Blaise), the fear of night (Giles), or sheep (Drogo).
And if that’s not enough, the Patron Saints Index has many, many, many more.
