This is a really good pice of information. My sister is going to pick this saint. And I like it.:)
i'm picking saint catherine for my confirmation name
Doing my Confirmation on her. I LOVE ART! (plus her story is great)
I'm also getting confirmed, and have to write a page on why I chose her. Thanks for this article, it really helped! I love the Arts, and her story is great.
I'm 19 years old and was confirmed a few years ago. I chose Catherine as my saint name because of my love of art. She has a beautiful story.
Haha that's very funny! I chose her for my confirmation too. I guess she's an interesting person to thirteen year olds. ;-)
I love art and I can't wait to be confirmed with Catherine at my side!
I think she is a really cool saint and I want to choose her for my Confirmation, but I can't figure out why she is the patron saint of artists. I love art and that's one of the reasons I am choosing her. Can anyone help me?
I might choose her or Saint Cecilia for confirmation. Really love art and music!!
I picked Catherine for my saint name and I'm happy I did it.
I am choosing her too for conformation because i love art and her feast day is my birthday ironic!
i am choosing saint Catherine for confirmation because i love art!!!!!!
One of the many wonderful things about our Catholic faith is that it can help us to find common ground with other people. Catharine of Bologna has a message for Rebecca and for Carly, even though their life stories are probably pretty different. Our faith connects us with others; when we can find ourselves in them, we become more able to find compassion in ourselves.
I also picked Saint Catherine as my saint name for my confirmation because she went through some pretty rough times like me :)
I am choosing this for my Confirmation name too! I am also an artist, and a lot of her personality is a lot like mine!
I'm choosing Cathrine of Bologna as my saint for confirmation too. I am an artist and I think she and I have a lot in common. I'm a perfectionist too. :)
i looooooved this article.
i am also 14 and will go through confirmation this year. i have chosen this saint for my confirmation.
This was a quaint article. im 13 and going through conformation and needed a saint. St.Cathrine of Bologna seems well fitted for me because i enjoy drawing and sketching. Also, she seemed to be very good and kind of perfect in ways of life and i like to have my drawings perfect. (Or just the best I can get it).
i chose this saint for my saint report because its my godmothers name i am only 14 about to be confirmed
