In medieval times saints were not expected to be omnipresent, as omnipresence was a divine attribute. The Church resolved this problem by placing relics of the saint in a place significant to the saint, or by distributing tiny amounts of relic or even soil associated with the saint's remains. The saint was expected to be near the relic, so those in need of intercession would travel to the site, where the saint would be able to hear prayers for intercession. This limitation does not always seem to have applied to Mary, mother of God.
Modern thought is that it is possible to pray to a particular saint from any church or actually just about anywhere. Millions could be praying to the same saint, all around the world, which would seem to require the saint to be omnipresent. The Church has once again overcome this objection by saying that the saint hears our prayers through the Holy Spirit, who is omnipresent.
