More About The Fourteen Holy Helpers

The Fourteen Holy Helpers were a group of saints invoked with great fervor during the Black Death in Europe from 1346 to 1349.

These great saints individually were patrons and patronesses of various maladies, and each had developed a large and devoted following over the centuries. It was understandable, then, during the Plague that the faithful turned to their intercession before the throne of God.

While this feast was removed from the Roman calendar in 1969, the fourteen holy helpers remain saints of the Church, even if for some the historical evidence of their lives is scant.

The Holy Helpers are:

    St. Achatius: May 8th — Headaches
    St. Barbara: Dec. 4th — Fever — Sudden death
    St. Blaise : Feb. 3rd — Ills of the throat
    St. Catherine of Alexandria: Nov. 25th — Sudden death
    St. Christopher: July 25th — Plagues — Sudden death
    St. Cyriacus: Aug. 8th — Temptations
    St. Denis: Oct. 9th — Headaches
    St. Erasmus (Elmo): June 2nd — Abdominal maladies
    St. Eustachius (Eustace): Sep. 20th — Family trouble
    St. George: Apr. 23rd — Protection of domestic animals
    St. Giles (Aegidius): Sep.1st — Plagues — Good Confession
    St. Margaret of Antioch: July 20th — Safe childbirth
    St. Pantaleone: July 27th — Physicians
    St. Vitus (St. Guy):June 15th — Epilepsy
