I was wondering if anybody knew who the Patron Saint of Epilepsy is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. God bless you all.

St. Valentine. He is recorded as both being an epileptic as a child and of curing a person from epilepsy.

Thank you all for the names of the Saints and the links you have listed. I will be looking into them all and seeing which one identifies with my life best. God bless you all and thanks for the help!

Blessed Pius IX was an epileptic who almost chose not to become a priest for this reason- Pope Pius VIII encouraged him to become a priest anyway.
