Catholic Confirmation - Catholic Saints Names
Suddenly the Sister in your Catholic Confirmation class asks, "Which patron saints have you considered for your Confirmation name?" Or, "Please write a report on your patron saints for Confirmation. It will be due in three weeks."
How do you begin? Pray first. Sister has probably taught you the "Prayer to the Holy Ghost". Prayer helps any project. Remember, God gives the increase! If she suggests that you use your given name to better honor your Baptismal patron saints the going is easier. Simply ask your parents or godparents which saint is your patron namesake, if you do not already know. Then find a book or two to learn the main details of his or her life and virtues and follow Sister's directions.
If she suggests that you choose another of the many Catholic saints available, so as to have another patron saint to guard you and guide you, ask the Holy Ghost for the discernment to know the virtue that will most help you to become a saint. Then search for patron saints of that virtue. Still not sure? Ask your parents which Catholic saints they think will be best for you. Frequently they will remember that you might have mentioned a favorite saint when you were younger or that you had a favorite statue or image that you were interested in the story that went with it. Grandparents, Godparents, relatives and friends might say which saint they think you remind them of. Read the short stories in the Catholic Encyclopedia or Butler's Lives Of The Saints (not Attwater's version - he seems not to believe what he writes). Then find appropriate books if you are required to write a long report. We suggest this list of Roman Catholic saints as a place to start. You can follow links to "related items" for their books, statues, and medals. This is the most interactive and helpful link we have found to gain a general understanding of so many Catholic saints! Next?Do unto others! Let your brothers and sisters, relatives and friends know to read saints' stories ahead of time!Looking for help learning the basic Catholic beliefs for Catholic Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation?
