Feb 05th - Agatha

You might recognize her from the First Eucharistic Prayer. The cult of this martyr started early but we really know nothing about her. Supposedly her breasts were cut off as part of her torture, and so she is the patron of breast cancer patients.
I am sure that no matter what she will entreat for those who need her intervention.

Consider your own calling, brothers and sisters. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. Rather, God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong, and God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who are something, so that no human being might boast before God. It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.

-- 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
