I thought this would be a good topic…]

It’s interesting to me that many canonized Saints had a partner in sanctity.

Saints-Like St.Francis and St.Clare.
St. Therese of Lisieux and her parents.

Soon to be Saints, Mother Theresa and John Paul II

Aside from naming the Apostes can you help build this list?

St Francis, of course, knew one or two others besides St Clare. He also knew her younger sister St Agnes of Assisi, and I believe formed a friendship with St Dominic and his followers who lived at roughly the same time.

And Sts Augustine and Monica both knew St Ambrose.

Sts Polycaryp of Smyrna and Ignatius of Antioch both knew each other as well as St John the Apostle who taught both of them.

Some other great partnerships include St Francis de Sales and St Jane Frances de Chantal, St Vincent de Paul and St Louise de Marillac, St John Bosco and St Dominic Savio, St Margaret Mary Alacoque and St Claude de la Colombiere.
 
How about Sts. Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddeus and Simon. They all knew each other. In fact, they knew Christ. 😃
 
Many of the Early Irish Saints knew each other. St Patrick and St Mel knew each other - Mel was a nephew of Patrick. St Mel also knew St Brigid, to whom he gave the religious veil. St Enda was converted by his sister, St Fanchea (an abbess). Among the saintly disciples of St Enda were Ciaran of Clonmacnoise, Finnian of Moville, Columba of Iona, Jarlath of Tuam, and Brendan ‘the Voyager’ who is said to have sailed to America in the sixth century… I’m sure the list goes on and on!
 
St. Isidore the Farmer and his wife St. Mary de la Cabeza.

St. Paul the first Hermit knew St. Anthony of Egypt who knew St. Athanasius of Alexandria.
 
St. Ignatius Loyola: St. Peter Faber - St. Francis Xavier - St. Peter Canisius - St. Francis Borgia
 
I recall reading about St. Charles Borromeo either baptizing or giving First Communion to person who was later canonized. Can’t remember who at the moment…

St. John Bosco and St. Dominic Savio.
 
Timothy and Titus were converted to Christianity by St Paul, and became his companions and helpers

St Thomas Aquinas studied in Paris and in Cologne under the great philosopher St Albert the Great

Twins often share the same interests and ideas with an equal intensity. Therefore, it is no surprise that Scholastica and her twin brother, Benedict, both established religious communities within a few miles from each other.

Sts. Cyril and Methodius

**Seven Founders of the Servite Order **These wonderful men helped each other love and serve God better. Six of them were ordained priests. They were Bonfilius, Amadeus, Hugh, Sostenes, Manettus and Buonagiunta. The seventh founder, Alexis, remained a wonderful religious until death. In his humility, he chose not to be ordained to the priesthood

Amata of Assisi, OP Poor Clare V (PC)
Died c. 1250; feast day formerly June 9. Amata was sister to Blessed Diana and Cecilia in the community of Saint Agnes at Bologna, a niece of Saint Clare, and a good friend of Saint Dominic. Saint Clare healed Amata of a disease and thereby converted her heart to the life of the cloister

St. Faustinus and St. Jovita were brothers who lived in Brescia, Italy

more later
 
Our Lady, (Queen of Saints) her parents… Sts. Anne and Joachim; Her spouse, St. Joseph; St. Elizabeth and St. Zachary, along with their son… St. John the Baptist.

Also, St. Lazarus, St. Martha and St. Mary… sibling saints.

Great thread! God bless. 🙂
 
St. Leander of Seville and St. Isidore were brothers

Pope St. Gregory II was born in 669 in Rome. When he was just a young man, he was so pious that he caught the attention of Pope St. Sergius I. Pope Sergius ordained Gregory a subdeacon. St. Boniface and St. Corbinian were consecrated as bishops under Gregory II and sent to the tribes in Germany

Born in Cremona, Italy; died c. 423. St. Eusebius first met Saint Jerome in Rome when Jerome was acting as secretary to Pope Saint Damasus and preaching a strict asceticism to all who would listen. Eusebius as so much attracted to the stern Biblical scholar that when Jerome decided to leave for the Holy Land, he begged to accompany him. At Antioch they were joined by Jerome’s other two great friends, the widow Saint Paula and her daughter Saint Eustochium. The four of them made a pilgrimage to all the places connected with the earthly life of Jesus, before deciding to make Bethlehem their home

St. Stephen of Mar Saba was the nephew of St. John Damascene, who introduced the young boy to monastic life beginning at age 10.
