You have certainly given my daughter some great Saints to consider - and your readers did too. <br />Funny, when I was confirmed I chose the name James as it was my grandfather's name. However, during the ceremony, the Bishop just couldn't get his head around the idea that a girl would choose a male name. I remember the back and forth I had with him, in front of the whole congregation. He asked me what name I had chosen and I answered "James".<br />"Aah, Jane" he answered. <br />"No, James"<br />"Yes, Jane it shall be"<br />I was confirmed Jane - but I still consider James to be my patron Saint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-84483230621591610332013-10-23T19:14:29.477-07:002013-10-23T19:14:29.477-07:00My daughter chose St Gianna Berreta Molla as her p...My daughter chose St Gianna Berreta Molla as her patron saint. She wanted an Italian saint as our family is part Italian, and also St Gianna is a patron of the unborn.

When my father was being buried, my brother mentioned that his son would have his confirmation in a few years. The priest suggested St. Martin of Tours, that day's main saint.

I had to write a paper on the biography of my saint, and how canonization worked. My saint (St. Sophie of Rome) is an obscure saint, so she got two paragraphs. The rest of my five pages was excruciating detail about the canonization process!Sophie Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984573258370585557noreply@blogger.com
