In both the Old and New Testament, when God had a new mission for someone, He often gave them a new name. Confirmation marks the start of a new mission for you as anointed members of the Catholic Church. There are two options when deciding on a Confirmation name:

First- Because Confirmation is the strengthening of the work that God began in your life at your Baptism, you may use your Baptismal name for Confirmation. (Note: this applies only if your Baptismal name was a Saint’s name or one deeply rooted in Faith (ie a Theological Virtue).  
          
Second– Instead of your Baptismal name, you may choose a new name for Confirmation. Your Confirmation name should be that of a Saint you admire or the saint name of someone you know and look up to as a Christian role-model. The name can be either male or female for any candidate.

There are many helpful websites available to assist you in gathering information about the Saints. Here are just a few:

Once the candidate has chosen his/her Confirmation name, they must complete the Confirmation Name form.  This is due with all paperwork at the second mandatory workshop in November.
