PATRON SAINTS

I'm not Catholic, but I've always been interested in the Patron Saints. There are over 5 thousand to choose from and they cover nearly every topic. Even Utah has one named Our Lady of the Snows.
In college, while on a student exchange to University of Montana (studying creative writing), I lost my dorm keys which had a $50 fine. My Catholic roommate mentions St. Anthony, the Patron Saint of lost things; that such a thing existed just fascinated me. To make a long story short, I never found the keys, paid the $50, and wrote a poem for St. Anthony.
Well, come to find out, there is a Patron Saint of lost keys, Zita. If only I had known, perhaps things would have ended differently. Here she is, along with a few others I thought you'd find interesting.

Patron Saint Zita: Lost Keys












Patron Saint Rita of Cascia: desperate, seemingly impossible causes and situations (me)













Patron Saint Bartholomew the Apostle: shoemaker/cobbler












Patron Saint Paul the Hermit: clothing industry (thank you Hermit Paul!)
