Saint Philomen Patron Saints
Patron Saints are “the protecting or guiding saints of a person or place”. They are chosen as special protectors or guardians over areas of life. We have patron saints so that they can intercede prayers to God from us. Patron saints are usually chosen due to their interests. This makes it easier for us to choose our confirmation saint because we may have the same interests as his/her. We have learned that our patron saint is “our best friend in Heaven”. A patron saint can help us to follow the example of God’s life and even their own life. The saint I chose for my confirmation saint is Saint Philomena. Saint Philomena is the patron saint of infants, babies, and children.

    Saint Barbara Confirmation Report

    Saint Barbara is someone who I continuously look up to whom practiced the Christian faith. She has always been considered my family’s favorite saint. Her story inspires me to be a better person and to be true to what I believe in despite what others say. I am amazed at the amount of courage, will, and bravery she had, and I really hope I have courage like that someday. Her story gives me a vivid reminder that their can be anger in our lives but we can control this by being in touch with God’s presence and continue to look up and pray to him no matter what. Also, due to my cultural background, my family firmly believes she was a great saint and therefore we have great devotion and celebrate her feast day, December 4th, annually which we don’t do to any other saints, making me further familiar with her life and background.

    Later Day Saints Research Paper

    The Church of the Later-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830. Joseph was born 23 December 1805 in America. In 1820 when he was 14 years old Joseph was concerned that all churches claimed to be the true church. He prayed for guidance and saw God and Jesus in a vision. They told him not to join any existing church as the original church would be restored to the earth. Later in 1823 Joseph had another vision of an angel called Moroni who showed him religious history inscribed on golden plates. These inscriptions told the teachings of an ancient American civilisation. Joseph Smith used these inscriptions to write the ‘the Book of Mormon’. In 1830 Joseph established the ‘Church of Christ’ and after a revelation he…

    Elizabeth Ann Seton Research Paper

    Elizabeth Ann Seton was the first born American to be canonized in the Roman Catholic Church. Although this is not why I chose her to be my confirmation saint, she is the patroness of in-law problems, widows, and the death of parents. Elizabeth Ann Seton had to go through many losses in her lifetime including the death of her mother and sister at age three, her stepmother when her father and she got divorced, and her husband when he died of tuberculosis (Catholic Online). Elizabeth had a very good bond with her step mother and when she and her father got divorced, she abandoned Elizabeth. She wanted nothing to do with her. This made Elizabeth feel depressed and alone. She went on to marry William Magee Seton when she was 19 years old. He eventually died of tuberculosis, leaving Elizabeth a widow at age 29. She started a religious order that went on to spread throughout the country. This is what she is most known for. Then on January 4, 1821, Elizabeth Ann Seton died of tuberculosis at age 46. She was very charming, cultured, and brave. Because of all the suffering she went through, she taught many people how to pray. On September 14,…

    Saint Thomas Aquinas Research Paper

    Saints are those who follow Christ and live their lives according to His teachings (Richert). They are known as the standard operating models for human beings. Because a saint is Holy, they know both the bad news of sin and the good news of salvation (Kreet). Catholics honor the saints because they are known as model Christians and practiced great virtue during their life on Earth. We can honor the saints by imitating their holy lives, praying to them, and by showing respect for their relics and images.…

    Rose Philippine Duchesne Research Paper

    I chose St. Rose Philippine Duchesne to be my confirmation name. I chose her because she inspires me to follow God, even when it’s tough, and also not to give up. Throughout her life she was dedicated and perseverant. When she was young, her mother and her mother’s sister lived together, so she was always around lots of kids. When she got into her teenage years, her dad put her in a convent to study and be more polite. At first, she did not want to go, but she eventually gave in. After the first month, she loved it, and would spend all her free time praying. Then, her dad started to get worried, because he wanted her to marry eventually. He took her back home. After a year of introducing Rose to suitors, she was miserable. One day, a missionary came to town to talk about his travels. She went to see him,…

My sponsor has been my "role model" throughout this process, but as I begin my Catholic life St. Elizabeth Ann will be my guide.

    Choosing A Saint For Confirmation

    Before being confirmed, Catholics have to understand why picking a saint for Confirmation is important. Choose wisely and be open to find the right one, because the saints await one’s arrival in eternity and share in the desire for all to reach heaven (Filz 4). Since saints led holy lives and are close to God in heaven, Catholics feel that their prayers are particularly effective (Catholic Online 11). Often Catholics ask a particular saint to pray for them, because the saint would have an interest in the problem…

    Saint Benedict

    The life of Saint Benedict dramatically shaped Christianity development through the impacts of Benedicts Law on monarchism and my ministry today. Saint Benedict was born in about the year 480 AD. Many of the milestones in Benedict’s life are approximations as is the year of his birth. The only dated event of his life was in 542 AD when he was visited by a king at Monte Cassino. We know that he was an older man when he was visited by this king because he died shortly after the visit. St. Benedict was born in Nursia which is now Norcia in the province of Ubbria. Many believe his father was a Roman noble. We do not know the names of Benedict’s father and mother. Benedict had a twin sister named Scholastica, who is also a saint. When Benedict came of age he was sent to school in Rome to learn to be a noble man. He became very disillusioned with the corruption in Rome and with the lack of discipline he noticed from his peers. He left Rome and his education in order to live in solitude and discern God’s will.…
