Thy Geekdom Come Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 St. Raphael the Archangel. Pray for it to be revealed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesChristi Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 St. John the Baptist (see my avatar) Definitely take the time to prayerfully make your decision. You'd be surprised how it could affect you. John's influence has taken my life in directions I wouldn't have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLAM Dad Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Peter. I've always liked the rock though I must admit I'm unfortunately only really good at imitating his less admirable traits (running away, denying, lying, etc.), . He's a good model though and I'll keep trying. Edited January 27, 2006 by OLAM Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like St. Paul, St. Louis IX, St. Francis (how could a guy NOT love St. Francis?), St. Thomas Becket, St. Thomas More, St. Joseph, St. Thomas, St. James, St. Pio, St. John Vianney, and St. John Bosco.

Quietfire Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Dont mean to hijack. Can a woman choose a man as a confirmation name? Personally, I am finding that I really like Cure of Ars. But this isnt about me. I know some women who have chosen men as their confirmation saint but I wasnt sure if it was right. I now un-hijack this thread. Carry on men.

YMNolan Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Patrick is my Confirmation name. Since then I've found St. John Vianney, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Bonaventure to be some inspiring people as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 St. Joseph of Cupertino is my confirmation Saint : My story's kinda like Raphael's. I picked him cause he's the patron saint of astronauts, but the more I read about his life the more I see we have in common. Not to mention he's the patron of students taking a test which is something I so sorely need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
