Confirmation Saint Name
DUE SEPT. 10, 2023

The tradition of adopting a new name for one's Confirmation is rooted in Scripture.  Often times, when a person received a new mission from God, they were given a new name as well (Abram to Abraham in Genesis 17:5, Jacob to Israel in Genesis 32:28, Simon to Peter in Matthew 16:18). In Confirmation, you receive a new mission to spread of the love of God, and you're invited to choose a Saint Name to symbolize this.

At Confirmation Mass, you will be introduced to the Bishop by the Confirmation name you choose. Choosing a Saint name is not mandatory, but it is a special part of the Sacrament to designate your newfound mission in Christ. You may choose a canonized Saint's name, a Blessed's name or keep your Baptismal name. (A "canonized" Saint is one officially recognized by the Catholic Church, whose name is written in our "canon" or official list.)
