St. Augustine of Canterbury lived and died before the formal process of canonizing saints was established. Thus, there is no date of canonization, nor is it possible to name the pope who canonized him. St. Augustine of Canterbury, like all the saints from the first 16 centuries or so of the Church, was "canonized" by the popular devotion of the people. St. Augustine of Canterbury died in May 25, 605 AD. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints finds its roots in the work of the Congregation of Rites, which Pope Sixtus V created on January 22, 1588.
Augustine was declared a saint by popular acclamation before the canonization process was instituted in the 11th and 12 the centuries. He was not canonized.
Saint Augustine Florida was founded by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés on September 8, 1565.
He was never officially canonized because this was not custom to do so in that period of time. He would have been declared as a saint by the local Christian community based on his life and merits. Today that decision can only be made by the pope.
There is no evidence to suggest that Saint Augustine of Hippo was gay. He is known for his writings on theology, philosophy, and spirituality, but his personal sexual orientation is not a focus of historical records.
Not likely. You can however, choose a Saint, whom this person greatly venerated, or was him/herself named after. Eg: Mother Teresa of Calcutta named herself after St. Teresa of Lisieux.
Before he converted back to Catholcism, Augustine led a very wild and sinful life. He lived with a woman for 15 years but never married. During those years he fathered a son whom he named Adeotadus.

Saint Juan Diego, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared as Our Lady of Guadalupe, played a significant role in spreading the message of the apparition. The Church recognized his devotion and the miracles associated with the apparition, leading to the canonization of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Like many saints from the first millennium, she was not formally canonised by a Pope. However, St. Brigid is recognised by the Vatican as being a saint. --- Church practices were very different in those early Christian days. Saint Brigid of Ireland was ordained a bishop by Saint Mel or Saint Mac-Caille in and around 468. She then founded two religious institutions, one for women and one for men. She was the abbess and bishop of Kildare together with Saint Conleth whom she chose as co-leader.
There is a Saint named Rita Cascia, if that is whom you are thinking of.
Your primary saint is the saint for whom you are named. Your other patron saint is the saint whose feast day falls on your birthday.
