    A patron saint is a special saint that keeps an eye on you from heaven and is already with a good word to the almighty. St Gabriel, for example, is the patron saint of Information Technology (I'm not making that up!).

    Ireland has three patron saints: St Patick, St Brigid and St Columba.

    Patrom saints are saints that have a connection with a particular group of people. Some saints are considered saints of particular work or careers, such as engineering.
