St. Clement, Patron Saint of Sailors and Sick Children
Though a more obscure saint, Pope Clement I played an enormous role in the Early Church. Clement knew both St. Peter and St. Paul, and most likely studied under both. Clement helped to spread Christianity in and beyond Rome, contributing to the expansion of the Catholic Faith. Clement was martyred by the Roman Emperor for refusing to give up his faith. We can partially thank Pope Clement for the fact that Catholicism is known around the globe today.
