Patron Saints :: Catholic Saints :: Catholic Church Saints:: Saints Names

"...In Baptism, the Lord's name sanctifies man, and the Christian receives his name in the Church. This can be a name of a saint, that is, of a disciple who has lived a life of exemplary fidelity to the Lord. The patron saint provides a model of charity; we are assured of his intercession. The "baptismal name" can also express a Christian mystery or Christian virtue. "Parents, sponsors and the pastor are to see that a name is not given which is foreign to Christian sentiment."

Here are four books to help you find the saints name for Baptism or Confirmation:
