prose Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Chad is a sponsor too. I guess we should be thinking about this too... Maybe a crucifix necklace (masculine of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Or a Catholic book? Maybe one about or by his Confirmation Saint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicemary Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Maybe a couple cd's of a good Catholic music group that is popular with kids today, sorry I don't know any. It is a gift he can listen to for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Xbox 360. Just kidding. A lot of Catholic stores have sections for confirmation gifts. I'd go with prose on the crucifix chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy me Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 How about the Compendium or Catechism? Not the most exciting gifts but very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick777 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 How about the always handy.... The Young Man's Guide to the Spiritual Life by Fr F.X. Lasance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I good friend of mine tells me her daughter was not impressed with her new rosary. A miraculous medal reportedly received a slightly better reaction (www.amm.org). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolou Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Tell the kid that the real gift is from God! Yeah..I'm going to be having my confirmation sometime in May or June, not sure yet. Sorry, I don't have any ideas for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have two sisters getting Confirmed (one in two weeks one in three) I don't have any idea what to do for them. They have all that sort of stuff. Uggh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birgitta Noel Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Regardless of what "else" you decide to get him I would request a mass be said for him. Then let him know. There is a quote about there being more value in one mass said for someone while they are alive then in bunches of them said for a person after he dies...sorry I can't remember it exactly. Ummm, maybe write him a letter about how you felt on your Confirmation day (good or bad) and how the gifts of the HS have impacted your life and your faith now. My Father did this for me because he was out to sea that day (he was in the Navy, not out ) and it is very special to me to this day. He told me how the bishop asked him a question during the ceremony as they used to do and he gave a "dumb" answer. LOL. Then he went on to say how he didn't get it then, but he did now etc etc. Very powerful. If you're looking for some"thing" to give the crucifix is nice. Or a really nice bible if he doesn't have one. Or some other religious book, icon, etc....as the others have suggested, check the Catholic store. Just don't get something specifically confirmation "themed". Get something he'll keep/use for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Joe Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I'd go to this online [url="http://www.rosaryshop.com/"]Rosary Shop[/url] and get him a custom made rosary with his confirmation saint as the center piece if they have it. You could also get him a small statue of his confirmation saint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
