Saint Anthony
Saint Anthony was only 36 years old when he died, having been born in 1195. Despite this, while he was still living, he had a significant impact. He was said to be able to heal the ill! He was so beloved by the Catholic Church that he was canonized fairly rapidly. In fact, it was the second-fastest process in history! Only a year after his death, he was proclaimed the patron saint of lost goods.
