Hello, I am new to this and hope this is an okay place to post this!
I have a rosary group going at my highschool and we want to pick a patron saint for the group. Any suggestions for patron saints of prayergroups? Teenage girls? Girls discerning God’s call? Maybe even friends or something like faith sharing?
Thanks and God Bless!

Welcome to CAF, and, yes, this is an excellent place to post this.
In other words…

Here are just a few to consider…

The Blessed Virgin Mary (for obvious reasons)

St. Dominic: Known for heavily promoting the rosary.

St. Louis DeMonfort: Also known for heavily promoting the rosary, as well as Marian devotions in general. Among other things, he wrote The Secret of the Rosary

St. Maria Goretti: The patron saint of teenage girls.

St. Jerome: A patron saint of students

St. Thomas Aquinas: another patron saint of students (and scholars)

St. Joseph of Cupertino: yet another patron saint of students. There is a wonderful old movie about him called The Reluctant Saint.

St. Nicholas: patron saint of students specifically in high school, and is the patron saint of other things as well. And yes, I mean that St. Nicholas.

St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows: and still yet another patron saint of students

(For even more patron saints of students, see this link)

St. Alphonsus Ligouri: Patron saint of vocations.

St. John the Apostle: Patron saint of friendships

St. Joan of Arc (I’m including her in the list because she really rocks!)

I pray that your rosary group will be a very spiritually enriching experience for all of you.

Why not call it THE SAINT PHILOMENA ROSARY GROUP,
after the mysterious 12 year old martyr of the early church??
(Her dried blood, scientifically tested: it IS dried blood and nothing else, which is kept in a glass vial near her encased bones, still, in the presence of witnesses, suddenly turns into pieces of jewelry: gold, silver, diamonds, platinum, right in the little vial, to the astonishment of all, then goes back to being clotted, half powdery dried blood again).

Reason for ST. PHILOMENA as the name of your group?
Well, she was PAPALLY DECLARED to be patroness of the Living Rosary
AND the Patroness of the Children of Mary, by POPE ST. PIUS THE TENTH,
and since Mary is the Queen of the Holy Rosary,
St. Philomena would be an ideal choice.
Plus, she would be VERY honored by this, and her prayers are known to
be powerful beyond the ability of words to fully describe.
Love to you all,

Find out more about Saint Philomena:

philomena.us (website of her official shrine)

philomena.org (website of the Universal Living Rosary Association
of Saint Philomena, based in Dickinson, TX, with more than 12 million members so far).

Another reason for considering HER name: she is also a POWERFUL PATRONESS OF
PURITY, and young people sure need such an intercessor these days. Heck, we ALL do.

Thank you all so much for your answers–they were all very good and even some Saints that I had not heard of!! I will now have to convene with my friends.🙂
 
Some suggestions for patron saints:

Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati - one of my favorite (soon to be) saints, he was an Italian student who died at the tender age of 24. I like him a lot for various reasons, especially because he was a daily Mass goer and very devoted to the Eucharist

St. Philomena - another favorite saint

St. Gemma Galgani - stigmatist saint who also died at an early age

St. Maria Goretti - another saint who died at an early age
