As the patron of coffee shops- fun places to hang out with your pals- invoke him to help stoke the fire of friendship.

 

17. St. Veronica

Since she’s invoked as the patroness of photographers (because she received the image of Christ on her cloth when she wiped His face), she’s another good one to invoke for friendships as you snap selfies of you and your friends.
