Find Your Patron Saint by Birthday

The tool reads your birth month and day and lists every saint the General Roman Calendar keeps on that date, highest rank first: solemnity, feast, memorial, then optional memorial. When a feast of the Lord or of the Virgin Mary holds the day, you see that feast, and when the calendar keeps no saint on your birthday, you see the saint whose day is closest.
What if no saint is listed on my birthday?
The General Roman Calendar is a short list: the saints the whole Latin Church celebrates together. The Roman Martyrology names many more saints for every day of the year, and your country, diocese or religious order may keep others. A saint from your own calendar, or from your baptismal or Confirmation name, is just as good a patron.
Is a birthday saint the same as my patron saint?
Many Catholics take a patron from their baptismal name or choose one at Confirmation. A birthday saint is an informal custom on top of that: a saint to thank and ask for prayer each year on your birthday. If you want a saint matched to your temperament instead, take the Which Saint Are You? quiz, or browse the saints and Christian figures on this site.
Where does the calendar come from?
The dates and titles are the General Roman Calendar as printed in the Roman Missal (third typical edition, 2008), with the saints added since by decree, such as Saint Faustina Kowalska (2020), Saint Hildegard of Bingen (2021) and Saint John Henry Newman (2026). English titles follow the Roman Missal. Celebrations without a fixed date, such as the Baptism of the Lord and the Sacred Heart, are not included.
