Hi, Tina —
Of course!
The important thing to realize is when you are praying
to a Saint, you are really asking them to pray
for you. It's like asking more then one friend to
pray for you. The only difference is that Saints
are in a better position to know the Will of God
for our life and therefore their prayer can be more
effective.
The thing you want to avoid is using the intercession
of saints as some kind of special back door to get
what you want from God.
Jesus did say that we should pray together and
for each other. Asking prayers of the Saints just
fulfills that command but we need to be careful
that our devotion to a Saint doesn't become some
kind of lucky charm.
John
