St. Spyridon the Thaumaturge, he was the Bishop of Trimythous, he was a wonderworker (that’s what thaumaturge means), and he was one of the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicea.

St. Spyridon, pray for us!

St. Jason the Apostle and St. Michael the Archangel are also my patrons!

St. Spyridon is my Confirmation patron.
 
St. Christina Mirabilis is great - she’s my wifes Confirmation Patron.
 
My most official patron saint is my Confirmation saint, which is St. Francis of Sales. I chose him because I thought Francis of Assisi must have had his hands full up there 😉 and also because of St. Francis of Sales’ patronage of writers (I had aspirations - and still do - of becoming a writer)
 
St. Thomas Aquinas as the saint given to me at Baptism.

St. Sebastian as my confirmation saint.

I think I’m covered in both the intellectual and physical aspects of life.
 
Hello Loving Light! I also like St. Francis and the peace prayer, however I wanted to point out that it is highly unlikely that it was him who wrote the poem. In recent decades it has become evident that the prayer originated during the early years of the 1900’s, but until recently no one has pointed out the exact year.

The first appearance of the Peace Prayer,” according to Dr. Renoux, “occurred in France in 1912 in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (the little bell). It was published in Paris by a Catholic association known as La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe, “The Holy Mass League,” founded in 1901 by a French priest, Father Esther Bouquerel (1855-1923). The prayer bore the title of Belle priere a faire pendant la messe; “A Beautiful Prayer to Say During the Mass” and was published anonymously. The author could have possibly been Father Bouquerel himself, but until now the identity of the author remains a mystery.

The prayer was sent in French to Pope Benedict XV in 1915. This was soon followed by its 1916 appearance, in Italian, in the Osservatore Romano. Around 1920, the prayer was printed by a French Franciscan priest on the back of an image of Francis with the title Priere pour la paix, “Prayer for Peace,” but without being attributed to the saint. Between the two World Wars, the prayer circulated in Europe and was translated into English.
 
I have a whole gang! Gemma Galgani, Aloysius Gonzaga, Thomas Aquinas, Padre Pio, the Little Flower! If you notice, they are all saints of purity! I want to see God!
 
Saint Pig Skin and Saint Big Al

Seriously though; Saint Isidore - Patron Saint of Computer Programmers.

Some of us aren’t lucky enough to have been named for saints. Ironically enough, if I had been born male, I would’ve been Timothy Mark, so I’d have had saints’ names then. However, as a convert, I went with St Paul for confirmation.
 
St. Joan of Arc for my Confirmation.
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton for my middle name.
St. Thomas the Apostle for personal assistance.

My life has been influenced in many ways by the Benedictines, so I feel that St. Benedict must be somehow a patron saint of mine as well. 🙂
 
My question is why did you post this?

I was looking for a patron saint of obnoxious people but could not find one, so it’s hard for me to answer.

In lieu of that disappointment, I’ve decided to go with Saint Drausnius. He is the patron saint of invincible people. (So please do not argue with me on the forums.)

Oh, and if you would like some light reading and could use a new patron saint, here is a good click in the right direction below.

Patron Saint of Trapped Admirals. We can’t repel holiness of that magnitude! 😉

Despite the good traits, he also had many vices and ultimately he did not live a life of heroic virtue. The good news is, his great grandson did!

Why not venerate the good fruit that the Lord drew out of Pope Alexander’s sin?

St. Francis Borgia

I like to pray to two saints that are attached to my wife, one shares her Christian name (and her name day) and the other is her confirmation named saint.
