CHOOSING YOUR CONFIRMATION NAME
Due Week of April 11 to your Small Group Leaders during your Small Group Gathering
Our name is a powerful symbol of who we are. One of the traditional practices in the Catholic Church at the time of Confirmation is to choose a name to signify our new and deeper awareness of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. At Confirmation, the Bishop addresses us by our Confirmation name.
