What was St Dymphna known for?
Dymphna was canonized in the Catholic tradition as the patron saint of the mentally ill, the epileptic, sufferers of nervous system disorders, incest victims, runaways and mental-health physicians. Interestingly enough, Dymphna is also regarded as the patroness of family harmony… a far cry from the life she lived.
Who is the patron saint of grief?
Elizabeth Ann Seton—also known as Mother Seton— is the patron saint of grief. She experienced the deaths of many loved ones in her own life—including her husband and two of her five children and suffered other significant losses, as well.
