Catholics/Patron Saint of Games?

Advertisement


Question
I have searched to no avail for something I am sure exists: the patron saint of games. I found gambling addicts who have Saint Bernadine, and I also found playing card manufacturers who have Balthasar, but no mention of those who use the cards post-production. Not once did I see a saint for the everyday football, crossword puzzle, card-playing person's saint of games. I'm sure I am simply not using the right choice of words. Can you offer any assistance?

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
