Those preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation are asked to pick a saint.  This saint acts as a heavenly guide through the process of Confirmation preparation as well as throughout the rest of your life.  A saint should be chosen the same way you would pick a best friend.  Look for a saint who has something in common with you, or who would be someone you would turn to when you are in need of advice.

​

As Catholics, we do not pray TO the saints, but ask the saints to intercede and pray for us from heaven.  We can talk to them and ask them to be with us while we are here on earth.
