St Catherine Of Siena Feast Day
Saint Catherine of Siena feast day is April 29th. She is the patron saint of fire prevention. She was born 1347 and died 1380. She set up a monastery for only women in 1377. She decided she did not want to enter a Convent (a community of persons devoted to religious life under a superior) but instead she entered the Third Order of St.Dominic. She always cared for others and gave stuff away to others who were in need. Her mission was to serve the poor and the sick. I selected this saint because she cared and helped those in need and that is what we need to do in everyday life. We should always help others because sometimes they do not get the best support from home, and they need it in school or wherever else they go. I also picked this saint

    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.

    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,…

    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,…

    A reasonable saint is St. Cecilia. The vow of virginity and the determination to preach about God proves the passion one can have. The courage shown can make St. Cecilia a considerable saint for Confirmation (Miller 2). Some can argue that the saint could have been recorded inaccurately (Miller 1). Doing more research is a part of the process, but eventually, the perfect one will be found.…
