Today I'm getting Confirmed
Today I am going to take a very important step in my faith. I am going to become an adult member of the church. I am taking the same Catherine-Bernadette. Originally I was going to take Catherine-Siena, but an interesting story about my birth-date, and baptism date, as well as a comment from a close friend changed my mind. In addition, I visited a very well known site about patron saints and the two featured saints were - (guess!) Saint Catherine AND Saint Bernadette. Also, Catholic Answers forums says that it's acceptable to take two saint names. I've prayerfully considered it and come to the conclusion - that I'm meant to take "Catherine-Bernadette" as my confirmation name. My full name now reads "Mary Elizabeth Catherine-Bernadette Di Valerio." It's a bit long but it tells a lot about me - my Italian heritage, my religious upbringing, my patron saints and even my birthday. I've already made a post about saint Catherine of Siena, so I'm going to make a post shortly about Saint Bernadette and her connections with me in my life.
