Saints & What Purposes to Call on Them

Saints & What Purposes to Call on Them
There are soooo many Saints! There is one, and usually more, for just about any purpose you may need to call upon them for. When I first started working with the Saints, I was beyond confused, well, more like overwhelmed.To make it easier, as I learned of a Saint and the purposes to call upon them, I added them to a simple table for easy reference. The table is by no means complete in any sense of the word, but it's a good start - and more will be added as I find it. So I thought I would share what I have with y'all so far. I hope someone finds it as useful as I have. :)
