Simple Fun: PLAYWRITING! with Mark Hopkins

 
 
Religion
 
·         2 important things that you need for your Confirmation is your Sponsor and your Confirmation name. This is a perfect chance to speak to your parents about both of these. When picking a name you should try to think of somebody who inspires you, traditionally a Saint’s name is chosen, maybe do some research into different saints and why they were appointed saints or somebody in your life who has helped you, inspired you, or somebody you look up to. If you have chosen a name write out a page on why you have picked that name and what it means to you. Also speak to your parents about who your sponsor will be, again this is somebody in your life who has been a positive influence, has inspired you and who will be there to support and encourage you. Perhaps you could write them a letter asking them to be your sponsor and explaining why you have chosen them
