Saint Augustine of Canterbury became a saint due to his role as a missionary in England, where he played a significant role in converting the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. He was appointed by Pope Gregory the Great and established a number of important Christian communities, contributing to the spread of Christianity in England. His dedication to evangelism and establishing the Church earned him the status of a saint.
Augustine of Canterbury was sent by Pope Saint Gregory the Great with 40 brother monks, including Saint Lawrence of Canterbury to evangelize the British Isles in the year 597.
That would be Pope Saint Gregory I.
Augustine of Canterbury was the prior of a monastery in Rome when Pope Gregory the Great chose him in 595 to lead a mission, usually known as the Gregorian mission, to Britain to Christianize King Æthelberht and his Kingdom of Kent from their native Anglo-Saxon paganism.
I can find no patronages assigned to Pope Gregory II.
