Around 600 or so
approx. 1,180,000,000
Therefore, each ‘saint’ has about 2 million souls they have to service.
Some of these ‘saints’ are not well known at all; so they get off a little easier I imagine; while other SAINTS have quite a reputation; so they probably get a lot MORE stuff sent their way.
If only one in a hundred Catholics send a prayer request to Saints CEntral Clearinghouse, that’s about 20,000 requests for help each day - per saint - on average.
833 an hour
14 a minute
about 4 seconds per request.
Yeah; I guess a saint could get all that done.
(Since there’s reported to be no night there; I guess they don’t need to sleep or any thing like that. It would just waste valuable time that they COULD be intercedeing.)

Kinda reminds me of an assembly line in a factory. We know that the saved in heaven will receive rewards of some kind for the various works they've done for the glory of God - rewards (crowns, gold, silver, precious stones) that are, at the end, laid back at the feet of Jesus because he is worthy of all glory and honor, majesty and praise. I wonder if the more famous or popular saints - as you described them - will get extra rewards based on how many prayers they process? Doesn't seem all that fair, though, since all they are supposedly doing is receiving the request, stamping their “ok” on it and sending it off to the Big Guy. Think they divvy out the intercessory prayers up there, just to keep up and make sure everyone stays busy? /sarc :o)
