| Location | Patron saint | Notes |

| Outer space | Joseph of Cupertino | Because of his ability to levitate, Joseph of Cupertino is the patron saint of astronauts.[116] |
| Moon | Mary, mother of Jesus | Mary is the patron saint of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando,[117] which Bishop William Donald Borders claimed included the moon due to a technicality in the 1917 Code of Canon Law which stated that any newly discovered territory would fall under the bishopric from whence the discovering expedition departed, making the Diocese of Orlando responsible for the moon following the flight of Apollo 11.[118][119][120] |
