Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

There are patrons for students, teachers such as Catherine of Alexandria, Thomas Aquinas etc. Who do you think of as the patron of homeschoolers?

Thanks,
Kate

We pray to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton -- she homeschooled her daughters before, during and after setting up her school.

Our newly formed homeschool group selected St. Ursula for our patron saint.

She is the patron of Catholic education, teachers, and students.

St. Therese is the patron saint of our homeschool. She was partially homeschooled herself, but besides that she is just a favorite of mine. Our family turns to her for so many things, it seems natural to ask her help with homeschooling.
