It's accurate that no Saint can grant your prayers (not even Mary which some folks seem to forget), they can only pray on your behalf to God. But, as noted elsewhere, you can certainly pray to the Saints asking them to pray for you (and, technically, they are not dead).

Of course this is another area of discrepancy in Christianity which leads to a lot of judgment. I belive that the practice is referred to in the Apocrypha.
