Well, there doesn’t seem to be a patron saint of loan processors or, uh, Jews. The patron saint of Chicago is the Virgin Mary. I guess she’s the default saint if no one submitted another choice before the deadline, looks like she’s the patron saint of pretty much everything, based on the list.
Thanks for answering my questions on patron Saints. I was raise generic protestant, and my husband, Suburban Plankton was a lapsed Catholic when we married. He picked St. Matthew as his patron saint at confirmation. He doesn’t have a saint’s name in his given name.
Our son (6yo) has yet to be baptized, but will be soon as First Communion is coming up and he wants to do that. His name is Charles, he wants to be a hero when he grows up and save people. I’m trying to think of a saint for him. Any ideas?
Last year I went through RCIA. We didn’t have to pick a saint at conversion, but we were encouraged to find one we could look to as a role model and for guidance. I’ve been looking at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton for myself since my given name is Elizabeth Anne.
Ya gotta broaden your definitions.
Bankers, lenders and money managers: Bernardine of Feltre, who founded low-interest loan shops for the poor, and the Apostle Matthew, who was a taxman.
I think the church figured assigning a patron saint to Jews would be, um, kinda un-PC. Sort of like asking a question about moneylenders and Jews in the same sentence 
However the Archangel Michael is considered the guardian of Israel, as in the nation – apparently by “grandfathering” from earlier tradition.
Patron Saint of Advertising: St. Bernadine of Siena. Cripes.
Patron saint of writers: St. Francis de Sales. Cool 
Patron saint of students: St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Patron saint of musicians: St. Cecilia.
And of course…
Patron saint of lovers: St. Valentine!
Currently, it’s Saint Anne, mother of the Blessed Virgin, grandmother of Christ Himself, and patroness of, among other things, “old-clothes dealers.”
