SO many have touched my life in different ways it’s tough to pick one, but I’ve always felt a deep respect and love for Saint Mother Teresa. Perhaps because she was a living saint of my childhood I grew up learning about. <3

St Bernadette!
St. Anne, “so rich in graces”, is my favorite Saint. She is a beautiful Saint that reminds me as a mother why it is important to not only give others, but also ourselves Grace. I have felt drawn to her like I have my own Grandmother named Anne. She gave herself to God and is a testament to the divine and unique role we have as women.

Saint Leila. I am new to the Catholoc faith and enjoy all the information you provide. I appreciate learning from other Catholic moms!

Saint Maria Goretti is my favorite saint because of her strength and incredible forgiveness
St Joan of Arc
I love St Brigid 🙂
St. Imelda!
St.Bernadette of Lisue
I had never picked a favorite saint, until this spring as a family we prayed the consecration novena to St. Joseph and what a blessing it was, He is now my favorite Saint!
St. Therese the Little flower and St. Porphyrios!
St. Anthony! I rarely lose anything and when I do, I find it almost immediately when I realize it’s lost. He’s always had my back even before he was my patron Saint! (I’m a convert :D)
My favorite Saint is the not-well-known Elisabeth Leseur who suffered greatly physically but remained truly humble. She prayed faithfully for her atheist husband Felix, and succeeded, after her death, in her petitions to our Lord for his conversion and he became a priest! You won’t find medals of her but I love her nonetheless.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux – expanded on Augustine’s “Just War” theory. Have been leading his life lately as it pertains to a Catholic historical fiction book I am writing. Hope to share the knowledge with my kids one day! My wife does an awesome job with homeschool and I know would love to have these things for our kids in the giveaway. Thanks for what you do!
Saint Kateri!
St Joseph of Cupertino because he wasn’t the brightest but had such simplicity, a great love for God, and did work that was lowly. He also passed his test on becoming a priest by only knowing 1 passage in the bible
My favorite saint is Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. Thank you for all you do, love learning with you to be not just a righteous Catholic, but a wonderful catholic wife and mom!!
Saint Maria Michaela is my favorite saint. She left wealth and was looked down on for helping others. Pray for me Maria Michaela.
St. Gemma
St. Francis of Assisi
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, her little way is so inspiring!
My favorite saint is Saint Zelie! She’s such a beautiful example of what motherhood should be and so relatable.
Saint Therese is mine. It blessed Anna Maria Taigi is ever canonized then she will be my favorite.
Oh so many have a special space in my heart. But I’d say Padre Pio ❤️. Our 1st daughter named Gabriella Pia because since I knew I was pregnant with her, I asked for his Intercesion after having had a miscarriage and 10 years of infertility. We are truly blessed in this rich faith!!
My favorite saint is St Theresa .
St Padre pio
My favorite saint is St Theresa the little flower ????.
Hard to choose one, St. Faustina, St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Philomena ????
st. Monica – my confirmation saint chosen as a teen for perseverance in prayer – who would have guessed the other things she would help me through – marriage difficulties, addictions, and much more.
St. Gertrude of Nivelles
Saint John Paul II ????????
Saint Philomena! Before I was converted to Catholicism I had studied about her and I believe she helped me and my husband join the church. This past Easter when we were confirmed I choose her for my patron Saint… little did I know I was expecting at this time. Lol it took us 10 years to conceive our first child who is turning 3 soon so it was a shock but a very good one 🙂 .
Saint Faustina and the entire Divine Mercy message/devotion!
St. Augustine.
Patron saint of my mom’s hometown Tanza, Cavite in the Philippines. Every year on August 28, we would visit our grandparents and have a fiesta. People would line the streets in a parade taking turns carrying a life size statue of St. Augustine, dancing and praying for his intercession.
My favourite saint is John Paul II.
St Joseph!
St. Jude!
St Benedict our family protector
Saint Joseph
Saint Nicholas and the Blessed Mother❤️
My favorite saint is St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
She has such a beautiful life that both married and single women and girls can imitate! It’s so beautiful that she lived not in one vocation but lived two! Even during her marriage she lived the way a religious sister would and lived and took vows after her husband’s death. A attribute that I find admirable in especially female saints is to not take part in vanity. She was so beautiful and as a widow she had many suitors and she disliked their attention that she contemplated on disfiguring her face by cutting her nose and was told by her spiritual director not to do so. There are so many beautiful events of her life. Like the time she had a sick poor person on her bed to tend after and when her husband saw him he saw Christ and not a poor sick beggar. St Elizabeth pray for us! Viva Cristo Rey! Salve María!
Saint Mary Magdalene
Saint Francis of Assisi ????️
My favorite saint is St Gianna Molla. She truly chose me in that her feast day is my birthday although I didn’t find this out until adulthood! I relate to her struggles and I named my little girl after her. She is incredibly inspirational.
My favorite saint is my patron saint, Virgin Mary. She’s been guiding me to her Son my entire life, before I even knew she could (I’m a convert haha).
Saint Faustina is my favorite saint!
St. Monica is my favorite saint ❤️.
Our Lady of Guadalupe.????????
St. Rita of Cassia!
St. Francis of Assisi because we all need to be as humble as he is.
St. Therese of Lisieux is my favorite. She always finds her “little way” to remind me that she is with me.
Saint Cecilia ????
My patrons are Our Lady of Knock and Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
I also have an affinity for St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Philomena
St. Bernadette!
St. Clare — my namesake! ????
I love St Jude so much I named my eldest son after him ???? but I also love St Cecilia patron saint of music ????
St. Monica
St. Monica
Oh this is perfect for the ages of my kids! How exciting!
It’s hard to pick but the first Saint that came to mind is St. Augustine. I just relate so much to his journey. Not the debauchery, perhaps, but the doubt and rebellion. Then the absolute love and devotion he felt towards Christ, how he epitomizes ‘from sinner to saint,’ makes me want to emulate him. He reminds me that we’re all on our own journey.
St Zelie Martin. So much to learn from her in raising up holy children and in growing in holiness with spouse. Recently I ordered the book ‘A call to deeper love’ which is a collection of letters between her and St Louis Martin. When it arrived, I was happily surprised to see that it came right on her feast day. I trust it to be a sign of her heavenly intercession.
St Joseph
St. Monica
St. Gianna- heard us on our journey to having a family. St. Clare is my confirmation Saint.
My favorite saint is “ St Dymphna” patron for mental illness . My aunt used to suffer from mental illness and she would pray
St. Paul
I’m new to this so I prayed and my favorite Saint is Padre Pío. Thank you.
St Mary Magdalene
St. Joan of Arc
