+ Confirmation Name +

A Confirmation name is name of a saint chosen by the person to be confirmed. It can be the same as your Christian (Baptism) name.

It is pronounced by the bishop during the sacrament of Confirmation.

Added to your Christian (Baptism) name, it gives the person confirmed a heavenly patron whom he (or she) should endeavor to imitate.

There are thousands of Catholic Saints. Here are a few helpful websites:

+ Confirmation Sponsor +

The role of the sponsor is to take care that the confirmed person behaves as a true witness of Christ and faithfully fulfills the obligations inherent in this sacrament.

A sponsor must be
• Selected by the person being confirmed
• At least 16 years old
•- Fully initiated meaning have received all three sacraments of initiation, Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation
• One who leads a life of faith

A sponsor must not be
• The father or mother of the one to be confirmed
• Bound by any canonical penalty legitimately imposed or declared (in trouble with the Church)

It is desirable to choose a godparent as sponsor.

For more information, see the Code of Canon Law, 872: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/_P2Y.HTM#29

With love in Christ.
