I'm sure a pancreas is useful but I'd never have thought it'd be canonised.

The parish was named after Saint Pancras, a 14-year-old boy who had converted to Christianity and would not renounce his faith. As a result, he was beheaded by Diocletian in Rome in 304AD. He is the patron saint of children. St Pancras is a Greek name meaning 'the one that holds everything'.

Apparently St Pancras is the patron saint of indoctrinating children to become martyrs of their religion.

Why no canonisation of internal organs and bodily functions? Holy shit I'd love to have something like that.
