The patron saint of coffee is also the patron saint of unattractive people, and his story is holier than the joke. St. Drogo was disfigured by disease on pilgrimage and reportedly seen in two places at once. He spent the rest of his life in a little shed beside a church, receiving the Eucharist through a window.

George Jacobson is back with the BeatiDudes, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, to share the stories behind the Church’s most surprising patrons. They range from the Valentine who secretly married Christian couples while imprisoned by Rome to the Doctor of the Church you call on for bowel trouble (the BeatiDudes do not handle that one maturely).

Underneath the laughs is a simple case for why Catholics ask the saints to pray for them at all: we already ask our friends to pray for us, and the saints are friends who are more alive than ever. The BeatiDudes watch the viral video of a priest so overcome at the consecration that he breaks down behind the altar. George also shares the story of his confirmation saint, St. Anthony of the Desert, a rich young man who arrived late to Mass just in time to hear the Gospel about the rich young man, then gave it all away and walked into the desert. Funny, nerdy, and unexpectedly moving, this conversation reminds us that we live in a supernatural world, and we don’t walk through it alone.
