RPG Catholic Update II

I'm trying to pick a patron saint for my confirmation next month (Dec. 2). There are many good choices (St. Augustine, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joan of Arc, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Edith Stein, St. Anselm...). The catechist suggested that one way to choose a patron saint is to see if your birthday falls on the same day as a feast day. Well, there isn't a feast day (in the new liturgical calendar) on my birthday (Jan. 30), so I guess I need to go with the saint with the closest feast day: St. Thomas Aquinas (Jan. 28).
