A '''patron saint''' in the [[Catholic Church]] is a [[saint]] who is venerated as a special intercessor and protector for specific groups, places, professions, activities, or causes. Rooted in the doctrine of the [[Communion of Saints]], patron saints are believed to intercede before God on behalf of those who seek their prayers, offering spiritual guidance and protection. The practice of invoking patron saints reflects the Catholic belief in the saints’ closeness to God and their ability to advocate for the faithful on Earth. | A '''patron saint''' in the [[Catholic Church]] is a [[saint]] who is venerated as a special intercessor and protector for specific groups, places, professions, activities, or causes.
