Who did you choose as your patron saint for your conformation? Why? I choose Saint Anne. Now it is my sister’s turn and she cannot decide. Any suggestions?

St. Theresa The Little Flower, Because she did no great things but only loved Christ greatly. I felt she was a more realistic saint for me to strive to follow.

I believe I chose St. Matthew, because he was one of the Apostles who wrote one of the Gospel book in the New Testament.At the time I was not too interested because I was getting a lot of information that was anti-catholic, so it confused me.
The Confirmation name can serve a purpose in a person’s daily life. It can inspire the individual, although to a small degree, to becoming a better Christian and thus, advances him in holiness - the sole purpose to human life.
A properly chosen Confirmation name can be one of many tools used to assist a Christian in attaining this lofty goal by frequently reminding the individual of the virtues that his namesake saint exemplified.
Not only is a saint's name chosen for confirmation, but also when a child is born and is baptised, it is wise to choose a saint's name at that time too. A patron saint acts a special protector and guardian in the life of a child.
I love Saint Maria Goretti ...she is truly a saint who we need for our times.

I chose Saint Maximilian Kolbe. His story was inspiring, but it was more because I liked the name. I guess that's what happens when you get confirmed in 8th grade.
