Confirmation 2025 2A Form

Required

Confirmation Candidate's Information (2025)
Deadline: August 29th

Choosing a Confirmation Saint Name

As part of the Confirmation tradition in the Catholic Church, you are invited to select a saint’s name to honor during the sacrament. This practice serves as a reminder of the significance of Confirmation and provides a patron saint to guide you in your faith journey. Through prayerful reflection and research, you will choose a saint whose life and virtues inspire you. Note that this honorary name does not legally change your given name.

  • Sign the Letter of Good Standing in person at their parish’s Administration Office, in the presence of the Pastor or a delegate, during office hours.

Additional Notes:
