Help[Opinions] Re: Confirmation Names 2024
in reply to a message by Kinola
That is SO many kids, my gosh?! Is it some kind of Catholic Megachurch? Man, if they had told me I could pick a confirmation name, the church probably coulda kept me interested. I left right before all that stuff because they were so weirdly neglectful. I never even knew about confirmation! Sometimes I wonder which saint I would have chosen if I had known I could....
ANYWAY I digress
I love that Carlo is a saint name, it's so jazzy. Sebastian has some pretty great romantic imagery so I wonder if that's why he's so popular? I'd love to know.
So exciting that Vittorio picked Amalberga! What a champ. And so nice to see my wacky Dymphna getting some love! Toribio is so fun.
Thanks for sharing these!

My church is a regular old Catholic church. Though it's surprising that you didn't learn about confirmation; all the kids at my church are granted confirmation when they reach eighth grade.
I think my church was an odd one. Maybe they were hanging on by a thread - my first communion group was about 10 kids strong, if that. I don't remember hearing anything about saints and what they were for, or who they were.
I wish my church waited until then. They combine 1st communion and confirmation together in 3rd grade. We tried to separate the two and couldn't. It's just our diocese, too.
