| Dympna: | (IrGael; Celtic) or Dymphna; suitable one, virgin saint. An Irish saint.

She is traditionally the patroness of those with mental illness and nervous afflictions, but has lately been adopted (in light of her personal history) by victims of incest and other sexual abuses. There exists a worldwide Saint Dymphna Devotion prayer community to which one may subscribe through the Franciscan Fathers. |
