Saint Report C1: This form is due on March 6, 2016 C2: If you have not turned in this form, please do so ASAP Every student is required to select a Confirmation Saint. The purpose of choosing a Saint Name is to provide a Christian identity for being a member in God’s family. Therefore, a Saint Name should reflect the qualities of the person being confirmed.
A Saint Name is usually given during Baptism. It is strongly encouraged that students select this name. However, they may choose another name, but it must belong to a canonized saint in the Catholic Church. (Click here for a list of Saints)
Letter to the Bishop C2: This form is due on April 10, 2016 It is essential that each candidate express his or her desire to be confirmed in writing to the Bishop. In the letter you share who you are and a little about yourself, why you wish to be confirmed, perhaps even your struggles and doubts about the process, as well as whom your Confirmation saint is and why you chose that particular saint. Before the celebration of Confirmation, the Bishop is required by Canon Law to know that candidates have been properly prepared. He should also know that each candidate has a desire for, and knowledge of, the sacrament. The Bishop is not looking for a theological statement. He quite simply wants to learn a little bit about you and why you wish to receive the sacrament.
The Letter is your personal acknowledgement to the Bishop that it is YOUR desire to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
