As you prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation you are asked to choose a Confirmation saint as your patron/patroness. At your Confirmation, you will be confirmed using this name. You may choose your Baptismal name, select a name from the Bible, or a canonized saint of the Catholic Church. The saint you choose should reflect a devotion you have to the saint, virtues or gifts to which you aspire, or the patron saint of certain gifts that are dear to you.

1. Read and learn about several saints and their lives before making your choice. You can choose a saint of either gender. 
2. Pray about the saint you are considering. 
3. Your catechist will be available to help you choose your saint before you complete the report to verify the saint exists.
