In the famous study of Italian folk Catholicism Madonnas That Maim, Michael P. Carroll writes that although the Church teaches that Christ is of primary importance, followed by the Madonna and then the saints, for local townspeople the chain of importance is exactly the opposite. The saint of the town or area is likely to be the fastest at getting things done, and therefore the most important to the locals. They are followed by one of the manifestations of Mary related to your need, and only then by the Trinity, which gets paid lip service while speaking to the beings lower down the chain.
