This is by no means a complete list, as virtually all saints are patrons to a long list of protectees. I've just pulled out the ones that I thought applied to those on FireStryker.

Don't forget St Brigid. (Formally the Goddess Brigid before she was demoted by the Catholics to a mere Saint). She's the patron Saint of Blacksmiths, Bards, and Healers. Her day is Feb 2nd.

St. Agnes.

I am actually shooting for one that is on or close to my birthday so that it is something else I don't have to fudge in my persona.
