PROJECT III - Selecting a Confirmation Name
Candidates must create and submit a Confirmation project that shows a knowledge and understanding of the saint whose name they are choosing as their own Confirmation name. Candidates may also choose to just retain their Baptismal name.

Projects do not necessarily have to be written reports. Indeed, candidates are encouraged to be creative and original. Projects could posters, models, dioramas, screenplays, mobiles, first-person narratives written from the point of view of the saint, sculptures, woodcarvings – the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
Projects will be presented at the February 8 session and then displayed for the entire parish community during Confirmation week!Candidates may work together with family, friends, and/or fellow candidates to complete this project.
The Program Coordinator reserves the right to return projects to candidates for further work if the submitted work does not reflect the individual’s attention, care, effort, and/or reverence required for participation in this program.
A good place to start researching saints is the Catholic Online website, www.catholic.org/saints/. There you will find an alphabetical index of saints, an index of patron saints, and a calendar with saints’ feast days, among other useful tools.In starting to research saints and complete their projects, candidates may want to consider the following questions:·
How and why did your parents choose your baptismal name?·
What activities, places, people, etc. interest you?
Is there a patron saint associated with any of these ?·
Which saints have their feast day on your birthday?·
Which saints inspire you? Why?·
When and where did the saint you are interested in live?·
When was he/she canonized? By which pope?·
How did this saint die? Was he/she persecuted and/or martyred for his/her beliefs?·
What was this saint’s occupation?·
What did this saint’s mission look like?·
What virtues did this saint practice in his/her life?
Did this saint always practice these virtues?
Did this saint experience a conversion?·
How would you describe this saint’s personality?·

What are their meanings?·
In what ways is this saint a model for Christians today?·
