Choosing a Saint Name
-
Candidates must complete the 'Saints Name Questionnaire' below and submit it no later than FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, 2022.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Each Candidate must choose their Confirmation Name. They may choose from among the many Saints proclaimed by the Church or may use their middle name given at their Baptism. When it comes to choosing a Confirmation name it is expected that each Candidate will seriously think about the Saints, and then consider a Saint that appeals to them and be willing to do a little research about that Saint’s life. Their chosen Saint is someone that they should intend to pray to on a daily basis; so as to befriend and rely upon them as a spiritual companion along their way; and ask for help and guidance of them through the rest of their lives.HERE ARE SOME USEFUL WEBSITES TO START YOUR SEARCH!
