I don't know an answer but I do need one. Do you happen to know a Saint for Health. I have been sick and I have been looking for the aint for Health and I have been unsuccessful. If you happen to know that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hello, Jamie.

Please take a look at this long list of "patron saint topics." You will surely find what you need, possibly even a saint to whom people customarily turn for help in the case of your specific illness.

May God bless and heal you.
John

I don't know of a specific "patron saint of health", but Saint Luke might be a good choice. He is believed to have been a physician, based on Paul's words. (Colossians 4:14).
