Catholic Confirmation - Catholic Saints Names

Catholic Confirmation is one of the seven Catholic sacraments for which it is very helpful to study the lives of the saints. The more Roman Catholic saints that you are familiar with the better you can choose a Confirmation name or make the saints report for your given name. Confirmation strengthens us in final perseverance, meaning that it's an awesome help toward Heaven. It gives us the weapons necessary to fight our own faults, the devil, the flesh and the world. If you have the opportunity to be Confirmed, prepare well and be confirmed as early as your bishop allows! What is Confirmation?

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. St. Anne's Helper Confirmation Catechism is the best that we know to help with the Confirmation Preparation questions and answers no matter which Catholic catechism program you use!

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.

Be encouraged to prepare well so as to receive the most graces possible so as to be a well armed Soldier of Jesus Christ and to have an easier trip to the highest place in Heaven as God invites! If you are fortunate enough to have the great grace to be able to receive Confirmation, go for it! See our growing list of Roman Catholic saints and our notes below so as to choose between patron saints for Confirmation names. It is very good to study the Roman Catholic saints the year before Confirmation preparation, so you are familiar with the choices you have for your Confirmation name.

Confirmation confers the strength necessary for final perseverance. It gives us the right to the graces necessary to be a soldier of Jesus Christ in all that we do! The weapons we are to use in our daily life are the same as Jesus Himself used, like prayers and sacrifices. There's no big project necessary. Confirmation is the sacrament that gives the grace to even very small children to be brave enough to confess the faith even unto martyrdom! It also gives us the right to God's grace in our everyday lives.

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 Thurston or Attwater's versions - They are known to have been revisionists and seem not to believe what they write). 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!

On On Pentecost Sunday, 10 days after Ascension Thursday, the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles who were made strong enough to teach the Catholic religion, and thousands of people converted to the Catholic Faith that very same day!

The best Catholic Confirmation catechisms that we have seen asks the question What is Confirmation? rather than the subjective "What does Confirmation do for you?" It gives the Catholic answers with clean definitions without clouding the truth with early Church history inventions of modern writers. The Holy Ghost confers those very same gifts on each one who receives the sacrament of Confirmation worthily throughout all these years! The better disposed we are, the better we can imitate Mary and the Apostles. Also, when we face a spiritual battle we can count on the graces necessary to win; be encouraged, we have the right to these graces!

Choosing a Catholic Confirmation name!

Choosing a Catholic Confirmation name can require much study if you are searching for that perfect patron saint! Think of your favorite name and find out what the saint was like, or read a collection of saints lives to find your favorite patron saints. It is easy if the catechumen has been reading good Catholic books that tell the lives of the saints.

Roman Catholic Saints - Baptism And Confirmation Names

Choose a Roman Catholic saints name based on the story you like, the name you like or for what a saint is patron. Here's an example: Saint Martha, Patroness of Homemakers and Hospitals.

Other ideas are to check lists that are found in Catholic liturgical calendars and lives of the saints, and this online Confirmation names list, and the book Is it a Saint's Name? by Tan Books. This is our favorite Catholic saints list because it has a bit of information plus related books, statues, and medals that would make excellent Confirmation gifts.

Catechism of the Council of Trent

The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that even those who have only attained the use of reason can and should receive the sacrament, and that mainly so that the child is able to remember it having been done. The sacrament of Confirmation can be received even by infants, especially those in danger of death.

So many Catholics today are not convinced of the need for Catholic Confirmation which is just too, too bad because there are so many missed graces. It is one of the reasons so many Catholics are not strong in their faith or watch their children and grandchildren leave the faith.

What a grace to be able to receive this strength and the sacramental graces now, so that our happines in eternity is brighter and surer; and our lives here on earth are safer and happier!

A good Catholic catechism teaches the important facts about the sacraments in a true, concise and memorable manner. Do you know the Catholic Holy Days of Obligation?

We have found several sources for good Catholic answers to the Confirmation questions, the best one of which is now available on an audio Baltimore Catechism (CD or Download) and catechism copybook!
