Patron Saints Students Should Know This Year

It’s that time of year again, when teachers blow the dust off the books that have been sat in a drawer since June and students groan while they trek to the shops to buy pens and books of A4 paper but there could be some help at hand from the Patron Saints so when June 2020 rolls around, here are some you could try praying to for a good, productive, smooth academic year.
St. Thomas Aquinas is the patron of scholars, so he’s obviously a good one to have a word with but St. Albert the Great is better if you are taking a scientific discipline as he is the patron of science students specifically.
You could do worse then seeking out St. Francis de Sales if you are an English scholar as his speciality is writing students but computer students should have a go with St. Isidore of Seville, the patron Saint of technology, computers, and the Internet.
St Nicholas will come in handy when the Student Loan runs out, him being the patron Saint of money problems and as students are notoriously bad at timekeeping and missing lessons, Saint Vitus as the Saint for oversleeping should be on your list.
When it comes to exams you can either listen to us throughout the year or pray to the patron Saint of exams, Joseph of Cupertino, either way is good.
