Who's Your Confirmation Saint?

[farglefeezlebut]

Just wondering who yours is? Why did you choose him/her.

Mine is Bernadette Soubirous. I chose her because I went to Lourdes and it was wonderful.

[Church Punk]

St. Joseph, and I choose him because he was the step father of Jesus, model for interior life and also the name of my Godfather (Uncle Joe lol).

[the_rev]

Saint Patrick,

I had no idea what to have my name be so I was anticipating a very important letter to come in the mail and it came on St. Patrick's Day.

[Groo the Wanderer]

Saint Joseph, since he is my namesake.

[Sojourner]

Joan of Arc


because she's the coolest

[premed_jakey]

St. Michael the Archangel.

I chose him because he is the protecter against Satan and temptation, and I need all the help I can get.

[Starets]

i was confirmed right after i was baptised, at the age of about two months or so. So I don't have a confirmation name!

[onathing1]

St. Pope Leo the Great....he's the coolest My CCD teacher's eyes bugged outta his head when I asked him if a girl could take a guy saint's name. Hehe.

[MIKolbe]

St. John Bosco - his love of children, his tireless work ethic, his humilty

[Totus Tuus]

St. Joan of Arc. Mine was "Joan Marie". I was confirmed with my best friend, and she's "Joan Maria". lol

[MissyP89]

St. Maria Goretti. I chose her originally because my father's aunt had died just before I was confirmed, and I took Maria in her memory.

These days, though, I am so glad to have her as my patron for her purity, chastity, and forgiveness. She's a very good role model to have, especially at my age.

St. Elizabeth of Hungary because I was 9 when I chose my saint, and I thought that the whole story about her and the bread and roses was totally Boss. :

[zwergel88]

St. Anne because Anna was already my name.

[jeffpugh]

St Martin of Tours, because I was into warriors when I was in grade 8. He is a role model to me now because I'm finding that I am becoming more of a warrior than ever. He shows that you can give yourself to Christ, even before the sacraments. It's a sort of hope for future events, whatever they may be.

[Sixtina87]

St. Sixtus the 2nd!

its a long story dealing with the FSGM Sisters! However through the grace of the Holy Spirit and God keeping me close.....I found St. Sixtus II as a very wonderful Saint willing to do what ever it takes to do God's will!

[catholicinsd]

St. Pio, beacause he was the most mordern of the canonised pretty much.

[chelsea]

Maria Goretti.
I think its really incredible that she died for the faith at such a young age.

I was torn between her and Mother Teresa, but i went with Maria.

[homeschoolmom]

St. Joanna because she was a close follower of Christ.

[Sojourner]

how did that happen? I thought confirmation always came at an older age?

The Eastern Rites baptize, give first communion and confirmatation (chrismation) as infants.
