    Activity #3: Research the Saints/Choose a Confirmation Name

    1. Submit the Confirmation Name form by the deadline specified.
    2. Follow this link to take a very brief quiz, to learn what you share in common with the saints. 
    3. Read the above form and review the two options (to stay with your baptismal name or to choose a saint's name). Discuss the options with your sponsor and make a choice.
    4. Research the saints, using this resource. If you choose to stay with your baptismal name and your name is also the name of a saint, then that will be the one you will research, but if you go with the option to choose a saint name then you'll need to do more research.
    5. Complete the Confirmation Name form and submit it to the coordinators on the date specified.
