Even though Usually you would only have one according to your Confirmation, which for me its St Peter, I chose these other saints as My other Patron Saints since their patronages form my Personality.

St Peter (Confirmation Saint) and Paul: My Love for the Papacy and the City of Rome
St. Helena: For My Love for Archeology, my future career
St Francis of Assisi: My Love for Animals and of God’s Creation
St Therese of Lisieux: My Family’s Patron Saint
All Major Marian Apparition Saints (Sts Juan Diego, Bernadette, Francisco and Jacinta etc…) for my Love of the Blessed Virgin.
Speaking of Which:
The Blessed Virgin herself: She is The Mother of God and Our Mother, She the only other parent other than God himself you can talk to.
St Joseph of Cupertino: I am a student, So I ask for his intercession for exams
St Joseph: My Love for the Holy Mother Church
St Edward the Confessor: My Love For Monarchy (Constitutional)
St John Paul II: The Greatest Pope to ever sit on St Peter’s throne.

So I was wondering Who are your Patron Saint or Saints and why?
 
St. Ives. The often overlooked English patron saint of lawyers. He pre-dates Thomas Moore by quite a bit. Was a public sector attorney way, way, way back in the day. Known for his tireless work. Seemed to fit given my job, and the number of hours I put in on it.
 
St Elena or Helena .
It was chosen for me.
I was confirmed as a baby. Soon after baptism, which was three days after birth…
Under the mantle of Our Lady of Mercy, ever since…
 
I’m guessing Confirmation saints count. When I was going to be Confirmed I chose St. Francis de Sales because of his use of literature to help convert others. During that time, I wanted to become a writer and so I thought that it was the sensible choice
 
Saint Maron, Patron Saint of Maronites.
Saint Charbel, the Perfume and Pride of Lebanon.
And the Blessed Virgin of course. She is my go-to for everything, after Christ.
 
I have several patrons (besides the BVM) whom I address more or less daily.

St. Gregory (baptismal name; my first name)

St. John the Evangelist (part of my name)

St. Pio of Pietrelcina (confirmation saint)

St. Robert Bellarmine (special patron for A.D. 2019)

St. Alphonsus Liguori

St. Francis de Sales

St. John of the Cross

St. Teresa of Avila

St. Therese of Lisieux

St. Philomena.

For all the saints listed after St. Robert Bellarmine, I consider them patrons because they have all been relevant in my life.
 
Tons.

My namesakes.
The saint whose celebration falls on the day of my birth.
The saint whose celebration falls on the day of my baptism.
My patron saint for my ethnic origin.
My patron saint for my citizen.
My patron saint for my line of work.
My patron saint for my state of life.
 
I should rewrite that…Greatest Pope in Modern Era…Julius II was the Greatest during the Renaissance…Leo The Great, is the great and still is Great because of Stopping Atilla and inventing the Gregorian Chants from the Early Church
 
To determine which Pope was the greatest of his era is quite difficult, after all we all have our personal considerations and views guiding our choices.
