We choose a Confirmation saint (like we choose a Confirmation sponsor) not out of due diligence to the “rule,” but rather because we realize how unfortunate it would be to travel alone. We recognize how important it is to know your Confirmation saint not only by name, but also by story. The saints have so much to teach us about this journey.

The name that you choose will be listed after your middle name in official parish records.

For example:
If you choose the saint St. Therese of Lisieux 
your name would read Jennifer Lynn Therese Martin  

You should make sure you spend some time researching & praying about and to your Saint before making a commintment. If you do not know where to start, here are a few websites that can give you some guidance.
