The Steubenville Youth Conferences, an outreach of Franciscan University of Steubenville, are a series of 24 conferences across North America that help teens encounter the love of Christ every summer. Each summer, Life Teen hosts several Steubenville Youth Conferences with the hopes of strengthening and inspiring teens and youth groups in their collective journeys to Christ.
Downloadable discussion questions and activities accompany each session, as well, to ensure that your leaders not only see and hear the training but distill it down to practical and foundational steps they can implement within your parish youth ministry programs. Match your birthday to the feast day of that saint. Search for a patron saint that shares your interests.
For every cause, there is a patron saint who matches it. Base the Confirmation Name you choose on the interests and causes of the patron saints you have in mind. If you are connected to acts of selflessness, choose the name Maximilian after Saint Maximilian Kobe. If you feel a connection to music, choose the name Cecelia after Saint Cecelia.
Decide what or who you aspire to be as a person. Your saint should help you to live as holy a lifestyle as possible, so choose a saint who inspires you and whom you admire. In your faith, what do you aspire to do? Let your aspirations, your prayers, and your devotion guide you in choosing.
Part 3. Narrow your list down to two saints. Find a spiritual connection to the stories of the two saints you've chosen. Saint Joan of Arc, for example, is remembered for her great bravery and love for God.
Saint Agnes of Rome was only twelve when she was martyred for her devotion to God and her chastity. Saint Tarcisius was a martyr of twelve, killed because he would not give up the Holy Eucharist.
Discuss your selections with a family or friend practicing Catholicism. Don't be shy to talk about your options with your parents, your sponsor, or your pastor. Discuss what has attracted you to the saints you have chosen on a spiritual level. Talk to your family and friends again when you've made your selection between the two names. Practice saying your Confirmation name again and again. Practice writing your Confirmation name as part of your name too.
Pray to the saint whose name you've chosen. When you pray, ask that the saint intervene for you, that he or she helps you make great moral choices, and ask that they be a powerful guide for you spiritually for the rest of your life. Part 4. Obtain a Confirmation information form. When you've found a saint that inspires you and your faith, completing a form is the next step.
After completing the Confirmation Name Report Form provided by your church, return it to your catechist. Fill out the Confirmation information form. Every form is not the same, but most of them contain similar requests for information.
You will be asked for your full name, your gender, address, contact information, occupation, and birth date. Complete the form with information about your namesake. This is asked more often on forms meant to be completed by younger children.
If so, help younger people with filling in information about the saints they've chosen. Be prepared to answer questions about who their saint is and why they want the saint to be their Confirmation name. Questions of their feast day, their birth, and their death will also be asked on Confirmation name forms.
They might also need to give two examples of how the saint was a witness and disciple of Jesus Christ. Answer questions regarding your faith. Saints are holy people who tried to follow Jesus with all their hearts. The saints were ordinary Christians, just like each of us.
They relied on the Spirit and followed where the Spirit led. Saints have been men, women and children. Some were married and some were single; some were members of religious orders and some were laypersons. Saints have come from all parts of the world, from every age and from all walks of life.
From heaven, saints continue to watch over and pray for the Church, for all of us. As Catholics, we remember and honor the saints because they show us how we can follow Jesus with all our hearts.
