Catholic Confirmation

No it does not. The so called Saints which the Catholic church call certain righteous people, is purely a Catholic tradition. All disciples of Christ are called Saints. The name that you call a child can be any name you choose.

Minor Correction:

Girls may choose a male saint's name and boys a female name for confirmation if they so choose.

Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church.

Catholic Answer

The only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders. Someone outside the Catholic Church who has been validly baptized is considered a Christian, but any confirmation attempted outside the Church would be invalid.

One of the personal representative's responsibilities in probating a decedent's estate is that of gathering the decedent's assets. The personal representative must collect and inventory the decedent's assets that are subject to probate. Tasks involved in gathering the decedent's assets include reviewing records to identify all of the decedent's assets, determining which assets are subject to probate, taking physical custody of probate assets, valuing the assets, and filing an inventory listing with the probate court.

Sometimes, the decedent owned one or more investment accounts. These accounts may include money market funds, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investments.

The Broker Confirmation Letter serves several purposes. It allows the personal representative to verify the existence of investment accounts held by an investment firm. It also helps determine the exact ownership of the investments. If the investments are held jointly with another individual, or if the investments are held by a trust, the investments may or may not be subject to probate. Therefore, it is important for the personal representative to be able to identify the types of investments owned by the decedent and in whose name the investments are held.

The personal representative must also value the decedent's assets as of the date of the decedent's death. This confirmation letter requests information about the values of the investments as of the date of death, including interest accrued and dividends paid on the investments.

The personal representative is also responsible for inventorying the decedent's assets. The personal representative may or may not have all information concerning investments held by the decedent. The personal representative can send this letter to investment firms where the decedent may potentially have held investments. This letter can help identify previously unknown assets.

Accounts at investment firms continue to earn interest, dividends, and capital gains after the decedent's death. Such items are income to the estate that the personal representative must report on the estate's income tax returns. This confirmation letter assists the personal representative in obtaining information about investments owned by the decedent, which in turn become assets of the estate. The personal representative can then keep track of the assets of the estate that will produce income for the estate that must be included on the estate's income tax returns.

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.

The term basilica (there are two degrees, minorand major), deriving from the Greek word for a castle, is granted as an honorary title on certain churches which have shown prominence within the Church, particularly as pilgrimage sites. A basilica bears certain markings, such as a pavillion (a fancy umbrella used for shade) and a bell, both of which would be used in procession, were the pope to enter the basilica.

Age does not automatically grant special status to a Roman Catholic church. You probably refer however to a basilicawhich is a church usually of some importance that is granted special ceremonial rites or status by the pope. A basilica is not to be confused with a cathedral, which is the primary church of a diocese, the bishop's church, and might therefore be considered the most important church in the area.

It sounds as if you are asking about a basilica. A basilica is a type of Church, but it is also a title given to certain Churches because of their age or importance. Some are known as major basilicas, most as minor. A major basilica is an outstanding church in the Catholic world, outside of Rome, the best known is St. Mary of the Angels in Assisi, Italy. Minor basilicas fulfill the "churches remarkable for antiquity, historical association, or importance as center of worship" but it does not qualify as a major basilica. The Church at my Archabbey in Pennsylvania - St. Vincent, is a basilica.
