Choosing a Confirmation Saint: History and Meaning
Choosing a Confirmation saint is an important part of the sacrament of Confirmation in the Catholic Church. This tradition dates back centuries and reflects the Church’s belief in the Communion of Saints—the idea that saints in heaven can intercede for us and serve as role models in our faith journey.
The practice of taking a saint’s name originates from the early Church, where converts often adopted the name of a saint as a sign of their new Christian identity. This tradition continued through Confirmation, allowing individuals to develop a special connection with a saint whose life exemplifies Christian virtues. By choosing a saint, we are inviting them to be our spiritual guide and intercessor, praying for us as we grow in faith.
