Question:
If Padre Pio will be my son’s confirmation saint, which name should he use: Pio or Francesco?
Answer:
Your son would use the name Pio as his confirmation name, which is the saint’s religious name and the name by which he was canonized. Francesco was Padre Pio‘s birth name, but he did not ordinarily use that name and was not commonly known by that name after he entered the Capuchins.
