Good morning!
A few friends and I are in the works of starting a new homeschool co-op based on the Classical Education model. We are praying about who our Patron Saint should be/what we should call ourselves.
Any suggestions? I specifically would love a strong Saint for these times. Someone wise, logical, a great speaker and someone to look to in times of persecution. I know that there are several but I feel like these is someone just beyond my grasp. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Put not your trust in princes: In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation. - Ps. 145:2-3

Specifically for classical education, St. Ignatius. The Jesuits were the leaders of classical Catholic education bar none. St. Thomas Aquinas was trained in the liberal arts tradition. Liberal arts is Medieval; classical is Renaissance/Baroque.
