Question
I would like a prayer to the patron saint of walkers.  I am going to walk in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day.  It is a 3 day walk of 20 miles per day.  Thank you.

I would also like to pray for someone who is mentally challenged and has eplilespy.  There must be a patron saint for that also.  Thank you. Shirley  

Answer
Shirley,

There is no specific patron for walkers, but there are several for pilgrims, who always walk for part or all of their pilgrimage.

   * Alexius
   * Benedict Joseph Labre
   * Faith
   * Gertrude of Nivelles
   * James the Greater
   * Julian the Hospitaller
   * Nicholas of Myra
   * Niño de Atocha
   * Pius X
