  Aim Higher Podcast! In Their Own Words: The Confirmation Interview Project 11.09.2026 37мин

  Why do we choose a Confirmation saint, and how does the right sponsor change everything? In this episode of the Aim Higher Podcast, Father Anthony and Sister Catherine dive deep into the profound stories behind the Sacrament of Confirmation. Inspired by a hands-on interview assignment, we explore what happens when young people actually sit down to talk with parents, grandparents, and parishioners about their Confirmation day. From surprising patron saint choices and unexpected common threads to the thoughtful discernment of picking a sponsor, we look at how the experiences of those who came before us can light the way for our own faith journeys. Tune in as we unpack the patterns, discover new heavenly friends, and talk about how hearing these personal stories transforms the way we approach our own walk with God.
