Is there a saint for seizures?

[eli1118]

Friends,
I good friend of mine has a 4 year old daughter who has been in the hospital for seizures. Who can she pray to? Any suggestions?

Thanks so much,
Eli

I believe St. Dymphna would be the one you want. She’s the patroness of people with mental and nervous disorders. I don’t know whether that includes all neurological disorders but it can’t hurt.

A list. St. Vitus, one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers is probably the most famous for this.

I think that you will find that St. Valentine, who was himself an epileptic, is considered a Patron Saint for epileptics.

Hi Eli I have also found several links, to suggest that St. Valentine is a Patron of those who suffer from Epilepsy and seizures. I’ll pray for your friends precious child. May the seizures stop.

Hope this helps.
