Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

George Weigel's Letters to a Young Catholic

This is a wonderful read for us older folks, but it is meant for the young adults among us.

Maybe this is silly or off, theologically, but what about tools? To symbolize that he is growing into being a man of God.

How about John Paul II's book written to teens? It's called:
My Dear Young Friends: Pope John Paul II Speaks to Teens on Life, Love, and Courage. Here's the link.
You could also try and purchase a holy medal or frame that recognizes his confirmation name. A friend's daughter chose Joan as her name because of her devotion to Joan of Arc...I found a lovely pewter plaque of Joan of Arc at my Catholic bookstore for her...

Happy Shopping~
