I was disappointed not to find St. Pancras on your list. He has a train station in London named for him, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2018. He must have done something to be so famous. Or is St. Pancras Station a monument to the Unknown Celebrity?
 
He is one of the best loved of all the boy saints in the Catholic Church. Saint Pancratius was martyred at the age of fourteen. By way of a gift, one of the Popes in the seventh century sent one of his relics to England. There, to this very day, English Catholics — who call him Saint Pancras — love and venerate this heroic Christian martyr.

Saint Pancras was a Roman citizen who converted to Christianity, and was beheaded for his faith at the age of fourteen, around the year 304. His name is Greek and means “the one that holds everything”.

Thank you, Nelka. I had no idea. Would it be a good idea to adopt him as my patron saint?
 
A good idea.

There is something bout these young saints that were martyred for their faith like St. Agnes.

I would have been far too weak at their age.
