GYM: Confirmation

Common names
If you choose a name such as John, James, Catherine or Maria, Mary, you should know which saint you are choosing - there are many Saints called by these names.

Starting from scratch
A good way to start is to find a book in the library or to look up a list of saints on the Internet and find a saint whose life you find interesting and attractive.

Men and Women
A question that gets asked every year is "Can a girl choose for her Confirmation patron a saint who was a man rather than a woman?" The answer is "Yes".
We don't usually get asked whether a boy could choose a saint who was a woman but that would be all right, too.
