The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of saints venerated together in Roman Catholicism because their intercession was believed to be particularly effective against various diseases.
This group of "helpers in need"
originated in 14th century Rhineland, due largely as a result of the epidemic
that grew to become the Black Death, but their veneration spread almost as
quickly as the plague.
Saint Eustace, is revered as a Christian
martyr and soldier saint from the 2nd century AD.
He is venerated as a saint in the Anglican
and Roman Catholic Churches.
He protects against family discord and is
commemorated on September 20th.
