In preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, candidates are asked to research and select the name of a Saint who models the attributes of Catholicism and will guide them to lead lives of faith.
Candidates are invited to choose the name of a saint whose life and story inspires them, one whom they feel a connection with and who can serve as a guide for how they want to live their life.
In the Called to Mercy section entitled Saint Search (in module 5), candidates are required to navigate through the glossary of Saints, do a bit of research and submit the name and a brief description of their chosen Saint, along with an explanation of why they chose their particular Saint as their Confirmation name. For those who wish to use their Baptismal name instead of selecting a new Saint name for Confirmation, please submit the information for your Baptismal name Saint via the module.
Selecting a Saint name is an important part of the candidate's documentation and must be completed PRIOR to December 1st.
