St. Matthias
Patron Saint of Alcoholics and Tailors
After the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, the Apostles went to work filling the vacancy created by Judas among the Twelve. In Acts 1:15-26, Peter proclaims that it is “necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us…become with us a witness to his resurrection.” The apostles propose Joseph called Barsabbas and Matthias and draw lots. Matthias was then chosen, and he became one of the twelve.
