Hello everyone. I was wondering who are your patron saints? How many do you have? I am curious, looking at building up a Heavenly taskforce so to say lol. šŸ˜ƒ
 
I have a whole team! St.Dominic to help me discern truth.
St. Francis of Assissi to develope a spirit of poverty and solidarity with the poor.
St. Teresa of Avilla a model of a friend of Jesus.
St. John Bosco for help in dealing with the children in my life.
St. Joseph the Husband of Mary to support me in living chastely; also St. Joseph the Worker to help me keep focused on Jesus in my profession.
Servant of God John Paul II- for fidelity to the Church.
St. Matthew the tax collector especially around this time of year, so that tax frustrations wonā€™t interfere with my faith.
And a whole hosts of saints(little s) and of course Sts. Michael, Gabrielle, and Raphael to help protect me and help me hear the word of God and to do His wil.

And the MOST Blessed Mother.l

My patron saint is St. Joseph (my Confirmation name)ā€¦Is there a St. Rebecca:confused:? I havenā€™t been able to find one? My middle name is Virginia.
 
St. Jerome
St. Dymphna
St. Genesius
Bl. Anna Maria Taigi
Bl. Pier Gorgio
Venerable Matt Talbot
 
My confirmation saint is St. Cecilia. Music is a huge part of my life, and I figured picking the patron saint of music would be appropriate.

I havenā€™t really thought of building a ā€œHeavenly taskforceā€ besides herā€¦but that may be a good idea!
 
-The Holy Mother Mary (the greatest Mama ever!)
-St. Anthony of Padua (My main man besides the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit! St. Tonly helps me out daily, He and I are super close. Anyone, pray to St. Anthony he is wonderful)
-St. Faustina (Confirmation saint/heavenly girlfriend)
-St. Therese (heavenly girlfriend)
-St. Joan of Arc (I named myself Jeanne on this website after her/heavenly girlfiriend)
-St. Clare (rolemodel/heavenly girlfriend)
-St. Philomena (heavenly girlfriend/helps me on tests)
-St. John Bosco (spiritual father)
-St. Francis (spiritual father)
-St. Padre Pio (spiritual father)
-St. Dominic Savio (spiritual brother)
-Soon to be beatified Pope John Paul II (do I need to explain why he is wonderful? and my dad has Parkinsons so I pray to him a lot)

Plus Many Others!

-Jeanne
 
Oh I reckon I have a few that I regularly seek the intercession of:

St. Maurice (my confirmation saint)
St. Therese of Lisieux (For Humility)
St. Teresa of Avila (For Zeal)
St. Maria Faustina (For an greater appreciation of Christā€™s mercy and the conversion of sinners)
St. Francis de Sales (For the restoration of unity for all Christians)
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (To be a good teacher)

I have been increasingly developing a deeper relationship with St. Joseph and I prepare for Marriage as well.

And of course the BVM under the titles of: Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of the MM, Our Lady of Victory, Our Lady of the Rosary.

I got a few others that are on more of an occasional basis such as:

St. Francis of Assisi
St. Dominic
St. Thomas Acquinas
St. Thomas the Apostle
St. Augustine
St. Maximilian Kolbe
St. Maria Goretti

Its so interesting to see what saints in certain periods are widely known, sometimes devotion to them may almost disappear for a hundred years then explode again.

I think that is awesome though. I just found out about St. Margaret of Cortona and was deeply inspired by her story. I had never heard of her before. I am loving this thread because it is interesting to see who the faithful turn to and how we all may have similarities on our ā€œgo toā€ saints, itā€™s neat to see the differences as well.šŸ‘
 
My Go-To List:

St. Francis de Sales
St. John of the Cross
St. Teresa of Avila
St. Therese of Liseax

Iā€™ve got a thing for the Doctors!
 
Iā€™m still trying to decide who mine is going to be. :eek:

I was thinking St. Christopher as heā€™s a favourite Saint of my mother and great-grandmother (although neither are Catholic). But I want to pick a female Saint.

Iā€™m thinking Saint Therese, because sheā€™s patron of the sick and I work in healthcare. But then Iā€™m not sure I want to pick one just based on my occupation.

Is there a female patron saint for perseverance?
 
I have Saint Stephen the first martyr, and Our Lady star of the sea :3
 
Aside from the Blessed Virgin Mary particularly Our lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of the Rosary; I ask the intercession of St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Catherine of Siena. The three women doctors of the church.
Now for my favorite saints, I have quite a lot. But St. Joseph, St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of the Andes are on their way to my list of patron saints.

You may have noticed that some of them are Doctors of the Church and Carmelites šŸ˜ƒ

St. Margaret (Mamie)
St. Germaine Cousin
St. Anne de Beaupre

I would suggest St. Therese of Lisieux because she was determined to enter Carmel at the age of 15. She asked the bishop and even the pope. The visitors werenā€™t even allowed to speak to the pope I think.
