Patron Saint Reflection Paper Year II (8th Grade Students)

Before you are confirmed you should choose a patron saint.  Pt #3 of the Confirmation guidelines issued by Bishops Conlon and Siegel state: "Candidates whose given/baptism name is not Christian (canonized saint) should choose a Confirmation name form the names of canonized saints.  Other candidates may choose a Confirmation name.  Whether they keep their baptism name or choose a confirmation name, the candidates should have a good knowledge of their patron saint (even if they have chosen the name to honor a relative or friend0."  Therefore, a patron saint reflection is necessary.
