OLA Confirmation Saint Name Form
When you stand before the (arch)bishop at your Confirmation, your sponsor will tell him the name of the saint you’ve chosen. He’ll then anoint you with chrism and confirm you with your new name.
​
Why Choosing a Saint Name is Important:
Your Confirmation saint name is a big deal. This saint should be someone who really speaks to you, someone you admire and who can be a role model for your Catholic faith.
​
The saints were real people who lived on earth, just like us. They went through tough times—pain, heartbreak, joy, frustration, and everything in between. What makes them stand out is that they chose to love God above all else, and they knew how to stay close to Him even when life wasn’t perfect.
​
Choosing a Saint:
-
Pick a canonized Catholic Saint who inspires you.
-
This saint should help you grow in your Catholic faith and be someone you want to model your life after.
Throughout the Confirmation program, you’ll be learning more about your saint and sharing their story with your small group. So, take some time to really think about who you want your saint to be and how they can inspire you.
