Why Did You Choose Your Confirmation Saint?

Tweet

Remember when you are preparing for confirmation that you have to choose a confirmation saint? I did, and that one in particular was St. Cecelia. I strongly advocate music education. I for one played in band, played in orchestra, sang twice in choir, played the piano for a short time, and so on. But I feel so bad for schools having to axe out music programs because of budget cuts. Another reason why I worry about the state of them is because teachers nowadays need to prepare students more for their standardized testings. Amid all the worry, I decided to choose St. Cecelia as my saint for my confirmation. I petition her to pray for the schools who either don't have sound music curricula or don't have any music program at all. She inspires me to give more to music in our schools. She even inspired me to sing in the chorus (as alto) only during my senior year to show support for the music department. So, who is your confirmation saint? Why did you choose him or her.
