I always get St. Anthony and St. Christoper mixed up, actually. The only one I remember is St. Jude for lost causes.
St. Anthony = Patron Saint of Lost Things
St. Jude = Patron Saint of Lost Causes
St. Christopher = Patron Saint of Travelers aka the Might Not Even Have Been a Real Guy Saint
ETA: HA! X-post. His feast day was removed from the calendar but he is still a saint.
Is there a patron saint for nonbelievers?
Wasn't St. Christopher de-sainted for being not real?
That sucks. It's not his fault he's not real....
Well, the patron saint of doubters is St. Joseph, but I can't seem to find one of nonbelievers (or heathens!). The patron saint of souls in purgatory is "Anima Sola, Our Lady Mt. Carmel"
Wasn't St. Christopher de-sainted for being not real?
It wasn't that Some Dude Named Christopher didn't exist; it's that the Big Important Saintly Story That Got Him Saintified (you know, turned stones into jam, healed a million orphan puppies in one day) didn't really happen. IIRC, what was alleged to have happened (but then later was decided by, I don't know, the CSI Vatican division) was that Chris carried the Christ child across a river or something.
Get it? Safe travel?
Sometimes the patron saint thing overreaches, IMO.

St Anthony St Anthony please come 'round, something's been lost that cannot be found?
Tony, Tony, turn around; something's lost and can't be found.
That's how I learned it when I interned in college for St. Anthony Messenger. St. Tony was our main man. Him and and St. Frank.
