Since the Angels and Saints have a closer connection to God, we pray to them to intercede for us through their prayers.  We should also pray for other people, interceding on their behalf. 

We honor the Saints by reserving a day on the calendar and calling it their Feast Day.  There are many Saints so one day in the Calendar may be the Feast Day for more than one Saint.  Mary is the most venerated of Saints and we should pray to Her every day.  In Canon Francis Ripley's book "This Is The Faith", he states that "no grace descends to men except through the hands, that is the intercession of Mary."

It has been proven spiritually and scientifically that praying for others is beneficial.  Even if the person you are praying for does not know you are praying for them.

Patron Saints are those Saints that have some type of connection to the individual(s).  St. Francis of Assisi is the Patron Saint of Animals and Ecology so an animal protection or nature group might choose St. Francis as their Patron Saint.

Many Christians are named after a particular Saint.  When the feast comes up in the Calendar of that Saint - it is said to be that person's "name day".
