Answer 2

How do you get your saint? Back in the old days when there were a milion Catholic saints then whatever saint's day your birthday was would be your personal patron saint. Is this what you mean?

Answer 3

First, you have to be Catholic.
Next, you have to have lived a life of exemplary piety and goodness...mostly people who were religious (monks, nuns, priests) but not always.
Then, you have to be dead. I mean, they wait until you're dead to start the process. They examine your life, works, morals, writings if any, etc.
Most of the time they require at least 3 miracles either during your lifetime or after your death, by way of people praying for your intercession.
There's quite a long process, rather like a trial investigation. First you are declared "blessed," then "venerable", then finally some reach canonization, aka sainthood.

If you're talking about choosing a saint's name for confirmation etc., choose a saint you admire or whose teachings etc. have had an effect on your life. I'm not catholic but if I were I would choose St. Therese of Lisieux. She rocks!
