Extraterrestrial locations
| Location | Patron saint | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Outer space | Joseph of Cupertino | Because of his ability to levitate, Joseph of Cupertino is the patron saint of astronauts. |
| Moon | Mary, mother of Jesus | Mary is the patroness saint of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando, which Bishop William Donald Borders claimed included the moon due to a technicality in the [1917 Code of Canon Law](1917-code-of-canon-law) which supposedly expanded the diocese's territory to include the moon following the flight of Apollo 11. |
