List of Saints who were Parents

A few years ago I started categorizing the saints into such categories as young saints, saints who were husbands, saints who were wives, widowed saints, young saints, saints who were friends of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, as well as for specific causes.

Note:  Some feast days may have changed as some of the reference books used are older.
