Patron Saint Project

PLEASE READ ALL MATERIAL BELOW

The tradition of taking a saint’s name in Baptism is an ancient practice in the church. The patron saint becomes a role model for the person and an example of how the Gospel can be lived in a practical way. In many Catholic countries today, one’s saint’s name day is celebrated instead of one’s birthday. Saints are heroes of the faith who lived their life as examples of faith, hope, and love. We venerate them as we do members of our own families who have died and whom we continue to honor with their pictures in our homes.

The Sacrament of Confirmation gives us the Holy Spirit to strengthen and encourage us to live out our baptismal commitment to love and serve others, especially those most in need. We can either be confirmed with our original baptismal name or take a saint’s name who will also be a patron saint for us.

As you prepare to receive Sacrament of Confirmation, you will have to choose a Patron Saint for yourself. It would not be prudent to choose just any saint; you should carefully consider which saint most suits you. A three-step process will help you to choose a suitable holy person and, most importantly, get to know that person.
