And also Patron Saint of the Royal Army Ordnance Corp as was and is now Royal Logistics Corps. She gets about a bit.

Default She Does Get Around (a round, get it?)

She is also traditionally the patron of armourers, military engineers, gunsmiths, miners and anyone else who worked with cannon and explosives. She is invoked against thunder and lightning and all accidents arising from explosions of gunpowder. She is venerated by every Catholic who faces the danger of sudden and violent death in work.

Busy lady...
