homeschoolmom Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I need to pick a confirmation name... Any suggestions? Aside from just the name, I would need to know why I should select that one. Thanks. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seatbelt Blue Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Saint Joan of Arc is my patroness; she's never steered me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My patron saint is St. Catherine of Siena My confirmation patron is St. Rose of Lima. Other cool saints are St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Brigid, St. Faustina, St. Elizabeth of Hungary... ...and there's always Mary! [url="http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/indexsnt.htm"]here's an index of patron saints. [/url] Pray about it, and perhaps God will lead you right to the name.

Aloysius Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 my two favorite girlie saints: St. Therese the Little Flower and Mary the Virgin Mother of all Christians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Do you have any particular talents or hobbies or conversion stories that might relate to certain saints? I like St. Cecilia, personally...but she's the patroness of my diocese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellenita Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Oooooh I know this dilemma too homeschoolmom! There are so many wonderful saints, that's the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My confirmation name was Faustina, after Saint Faustina who was canonized the year before I was confirmed. If you don't know who she is, maybe you know about the devotion to the Divine Mercy. She was its proponent.

jp2_rules Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 St. John Mary Vianney is my Confirmation saint. But judging by your name, I don't think that'll help you much. He was such an awesome example of someone with a deep faith, devotion to Confession, and used the little things(much like Therese)to convert others. I just had to put in a good word for him ;-) As far as female saints, I like Therese, and Cecilia(I'm a musicain, and music is such an important part of my prayer life). There are LOTS of saints to choose from. Go read some books about them, and you'll probably find one that jumps out at you. God bless you in your search!!!

BLAZEr Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 [b][url="http://www.stthomasirondequoit.com/SaintsAlive/id801.htm"]Blessed Gianna Beretta Molla[/url] [url="http://www.savior.org/saints/mora.htm"]Blessed Elizabeth Canori Mora[/url] [url="http://www.savior.org/saints/lyne.htm"]St. Anne Lyne (she's a convert too!)[/url] [url="http://www.savior.org/saints/corsini.htm"]Bl. Maria Corsini Quattrochi (my personal favorite)[/url] She and her Husband's cause for canonization is being pursued TOGETHER, as ONE cause. That means that if either one of them aren't saints, then neither of them are saints. It's a beautiful image of how Marriage is for them, the path of their holiness. [url="http://carmelnet.org/sword/v60/Spirituality/sp-martins/sp-martins.htm"]Venerable Zelie Martin -- St. Therese of Liseux's mom!!![/url] She's technically not a saint, but I don't think there would be a problem in taking the name of a Venerable, who will be beatified soon.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 [quote name='Colleen' date='Mar 4 2004, 05:15 PM'] My confirmation patron is St. Rose of Lima. [/quote] Another St. Rose of Lima fan!!!! She's my birth saint. <---------------See my avatar? I also love St. Dymphna (and Ice likes her too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
