It seems like no matter where you're from or what you do for a living, there is some saint in heaven who is especially looking out for you. We call them patron saints, and there seems to be one for just about everything, from lost items and lawyers to whales and Wales. In this episode of Bonus Points, we'll talk about where the Catholic custom of naming patron saints originated and how a saint is named as a patron. Then, we'll look at a collection of odd and interesting patron saints, including:

-Disappointed mothers (St. Monica)

-Ugly people and coffee (St. Drogo)

-Headaches (St. Denis of Paris)

-Pilots (St. Joseph of Cupertino and Our Lady of Loreto)

-TV (St. Clare)

-The Internet (St. Isidore of Seville)

And, as a bonus, we'll talk about how St. Anthony became the famous patron of lost items.
