PATRON SAINT
What is a Patron Saint?
While some parishes are named for Christ (Sacred Heart, Divine Savior, Holy Cross, Good Shepherd, etc.), most parishes are named after a patron saint.
A patron saint is just that, a patron, a friend at court. In the United States we have lost the idea of patron since we do not have kings, but a patron is a person who looks out for your interests and sponsors you.
In the Church, a patron saint is a person you choose to be the one to pray especially for your parish or yourself.
