Emmax

St Dympna patron saint of sleep walkers

St Elijah patron saint of Electricians

You have my sons saint day on 6th of December, his god mother always gives him a saints day gift on the 6th.

Teresa

St Jude...patron of Lost Causes and Hopeless Cases. BC XX

St Anthony the patron saint of lost causes ( at least Mum used to say he was the patron saint of lost causes but just noticed the previuos message)

Bridget

Always prayed to St Anthony with mum as a child when she was looking for any money which may have gone down the sides of the settee, usually on a Thursday as she would be relying on being given her weekly allowance when dad was paid on Friday lunch time

Bridget.

I think that it is St Anthony for lost things (next time you can't find something pray to Saint Anthony)

St Jude for lost causes, when everyone seems to have given up hope, pray to Saint Jude.

Please would any one be able to find out what these are saints of,
St James
St Matthew
St Stephen
St Luke
St Alexander
St Nathaniel
St Christopher
These are all my son's names, i've been told that there is a St Ashley but not sure if that is true, (I know he should be St xof courageous deeds).
