The saint that shares your name?
The saint you chose as your confirmation name?
The saint that held your school’s name?
 
Only occasionally. Mostly I pray through our Lady. She watches out for me.
 
I often pray through my confirmation saint, St. Thomas Aquinas, but I always ask intercession from all the Dominican Saints and Blesseds.

You can pray for their intercession or another one of your favorite saints.

St. Thomas Aquinas is also my confirmation saint. I regularly pray for his intercession. St. Thomas is my great friend. I have passed many exams because of his help and assistance. Thank you St. Thomas!
 
When I was a kid, and my dad led my brother and I in prayer before bed, he listed a number of saints to pray for us. I still use this basic list when I pray because these saints have done a good job helping to look out for me so far. When I lead my young children in prayer, I want these saints to pray for them too. And yes, the saint I was named after and my confirmation saint are included in that list. 🙂
 
The saint that shares your name? - If I remember to.
The saint you chose as your confirmation name? - I barely know anything about him. 😦
The saint that held your school’s name? - My school isn’t named after a saint. 😛
 
The saint that shares your name? You know, now that I think about it, St. Zachary would be an excellent intercessor when I have doubts.

Your confirmation saint? St. Augustine has helped me through many tough times.

I also pray to St. Thomas Aquinas for help in my philosophy classes, and St. Jerome for help in Latin (I’m a Latin major, and going into teaching, so I suppose St. Jerome will be among my patron saints, no?).
 
I don’t have a saint that shares my name…
Yes, I pray to St. Faustina (my Confirmation saint)
My school isn’t named after a saint, but it has a Carmelite foundation, and I pray to St. Therese of Lisieux, because she is one of the main Carmel ladies!

Is your name Jeanne? You can pray to St. Joan of Arc (Ste. Jeanne d’Arc in French)

My baptismal saint and confirmation saint have the same feast day, and I always try to get to Mass that day.
 
The saint that shares your name? - I actually had to google a saint with my name… Hmm, he was a martyr.
The saint you chose as your confirmation name? - Yes! I ask St. Josemaria Escriva for help and support all the time.
The saint that held your school’s name? - Well if you count Amos Alonzo Stagg a saint (maybe in sports!) 😛

I share my name with an Archangel

I found out that I share a similar life story with my confirmation name saint who I greatly admire (St. Augustine), but I haven’t thought of praying to him since I already pray to many other saints.

My school was named after the greek god of the seas.
