They pretend not to, but I grew up Catholic and I’ve known people who feel direct, holy connections to sts. Anthony or Jude. It’s one of the things that allowed Catholicism to be so effectively spread: people didn’t have to lose their old gods. Saint Brigid is just a revamp of the Celtic deity Brigid, for example.
