Patron Saints

I happened to see this post from Newsweek which lists several of the more unique patron saints the Catholic Church has named:

ASTRONAUTS
Saint Joseph of Cupertino
This 17th-century Apulian saint—reportedly a slow-witted boy—was known for levitating in front of witnesses more than 70 times over the course of 17 years. He’s also the saint of air travelers, aviators, test takers, and weak students.

TELEVISION
Saint Clare of Assisi
When Saint Clare was too sick to attend Mass, she claimed to be able to see and hear the service on the walls of her room. She is also the saint of telephones, clairvoyance, and eye diseases.

VENEREAL DISEASE 
Saint Fiacre
Known for treating the diseased during his travels circa the late 600s, this Irish holy man also set up a hospice in Paris. Centuries later, a nearby hotel rented out the first coaches for hire—and Saint Fiacre became the patron of taxis.
