I watched Man on fire the other day for the first time. It was good, nothing extra-special, but good. What got me thinking was when the little girl gives Denzel the charm for the Patron Saint of Lost causes. I thought that was kinda weird that there would be a Patron Saint dedicated to lost causes and wondered what other weird things Catholics have assigned Saints too.

Amalburga is the Patron Saint of Arm Pain.
Magnus of Fussen is the Patron Saint against caterpillars.
Barbara is the Patron Saint of warehouses and is also against death by artillery.
Drogo (my favorite) is the Patron Saint of dumb and unattractive people.
Zita is the Patron Saint of lost keys.
Bartholomew the Apostle is the Patron Saint to all Twitchers.
Expeditus is the Patron Saint against procrastination
Columbanus is the Patron Saint for bikers.
Anne is Canada's Patron Saint.
Eugene de Mazenod is Patron Saint to dysfunctional families.

Crazy Catholics.
