Confirmation Name Essay

Your Name *

First

Last

Did you know that Abraham first was Abram? And Peter (the first pope) used to be named Simon? And of course Paul, when slaughtering Christians and saying Jesus was a fake, was Saul! Their name was changed to show a change of heart.

And now it’s time to add YOUR name to this list. Your Confirmation Name, that is!

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a special time in your life when the Holy Spirit can change YOU for the better, too. And to make the change more real, YOU, TOO will choose a name that signifies this change.

1. Choose a name that has meaning to you and is also a Christian name (like a saint’s name). You may want to get input from family or friends. *

2. Research the name. Look at www.catholic.org/saints and www.americancatholic.org for help.

3. Write an essay (at least 7 sentences) sharing why this name is meaningful to you and telling something of the saint’s life. *
