Different branches of Christianity require different things of young people being confirmed. It is important for you to speak with your pastor about what is required of your child before he or she can celebrate the scared rite of confirmation. Here is a list of common requirements.

Some catholic parishioners may request a saint name upon confirmation. If this is something you wish to do, most churches ask that you write a letter to your bishop with the name as well as an explanation of why you chose that particular saint.
