Patron saints for children born out of wedlock

“What kind of saints do people want?” (An interesting article addressing the question, “Has the Church been canonizing too few married saints?” The author doesn’t really answer, but she does provide a different perspective on the ways in which saints are role models for the faithful. I’d love to see more canonizations of husbands, wives, widows, and widowers–and this article does point out that there have been more of those canonizations recently–but the basic point this article makes is well taken: canonizations generally follow popular devotion.)

List of many patron saints for various family situations (if you look up various of these saints, like Richard Gwyn or Philip Howard, you’ll find that they too were married saints)
