Last week, I presented 10 male saints and asked you to guess which patronage each saint had. This week, I’m back with the ladies!

Now, I have to point out something VERY IMPORTANT. When I was doing the research on the male saints, each man had only one patronage mentioned. However, the women saints are holding down 5, 6, or more responsibilities! How is that fair?

Therefore, for clarity’s sake, I have only included ONE patronage per saint in the list. However, down below in the blacked-out answers, I included all the other patronages I could find for each woman. Credit where credit is due!

I guess the old saying is correct: If you want something done right, you have to ask a woman to do it!

Enjoy!
