What is St. Vincent Ferrer the patron saint of?

St. Vincent Ferrer is the patron saint of brickmakers, builders, construction workers, fishermen, plumbers, prisoners, and Spanish orphanages. Because of his role in helping to end the Western Schism (1378–1417), a period in the Roman Catholic Church when there were rival popes, Vincent is also considered a patron saint of reconciliation.
