Regarding confirmation and taking a Saint's name

[Ignatius the Hermit]

As I understand it, when a Catholic is confirmed they receive a Saints name. While this is not the same as a 'legal name', I was curious how it is used.

1. Does Your Priest ever address you by it (apparently they do in the Orthodox Churches)?

2. Is it attached to you other names, or does it stand alone?

3. As an adult, do you get to choose your Patron Saint? And if so, do you assume their name then?

Hey, I just found this thread to ask you another question brother. This one deals withthe Eucharist.

WHy is only Host given to the Church in the Eucharist and not the Blood as well? I think I read somewhere that sometmes it is, but that it isn't necessary because the Blood is also present in the Host. Is that correct?

Most parishes offer both species these days however we believe that Jesus is fully present in either one as He cannot be divided so recieiving under either species is to recieve the complete Jesus so yes you are correct.

Peace.

Many churches nowadays offer both the Body and the Blood the church I went to on Vigil Mass did both. (I like it that way more too)

But yes, Jesus can not be divided, so if you just have the host, you still get valid Communion
