Patron Saint

[Fisher-of-Men]

Is there a Patron Saint for “discernment”?? I want to give a number of high school graduates a medal with this Patron Saint. Most our going off to college…which is where they will really start to question their belief system and faith. If anyone know’s of a better category that fits this dilema - please let me know!!!

I haven’t heard of one. Here are some suggestions:

St. Gianna Molla, a wonderful wife
St. Catherine of Siena, virgin and nun
St. Maria Goretti, virgin who resisted rape
St. Benedict, father of Western monasticism

my Mother my Confidence,
Corinne

A saint that discerned for some time was St. Augustine. “Late have I loved you, Lord.” Also he said, " Our heart is restless Lord, until is rests in you." His writtings have been a good source of spirituality for a long time.

May God bless these leaders of tomorrow that you are trying to guide.

I second this nomination.

Our Mother, Mary and St. Joseph had much to discern raising Jesus.

Luke 1:
34] And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?”
