I'm doing a saint project in religion class. I don't know which saint to do. Please help and soon. Please give details why I should pick the saint. please & thank you
St. Dismas All that is known of Dismas is that he is the Good Thief crucified with Christ on Calvary. The other thief is known as Gestas. A completely unsubstantiated myth from the Arabic Gospel of the Infancy that enjoyed great popularity in the West during the Middle Ages had two thieves who held up the Holy Family on the way to Egypt. Dismas bought off Gestas with forty drachmas to leave them unmolested, whereupon the Infant predicted that they would be crucified with Him in Jerusalem, and that Dismas would accompany Him to Paradise. His feast day is March 25th. or St. Thomas Aquinas, priest and doctor of the Church, patron of all universities and of students. or even St. Martha Patron of cooks
St. Clare is neat. She was locked in her cell in the convent, and couldn't get out for mass. (sometime in the 13th Century) She miraculously saw the whole service in her cell. She's the patron St. of television.
She also did a whole bunch of other cool stuff, like founding the poor Claires and working with St. Francis of Assisi. Your project is probably over by now, but it's still cool stuff.
Saint Francis of Assisi
He is known as the patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment

Saint Nicholas or Saint Valentino. Because without them Christmas and Valentine's days would be nothing.
