Choosing a Sponsor
All candidates for Confirmation will choose a sponsor to journey with them in the Catholic faith. A sponsor is a person in your child’s life who understands and lives the teachings of our faith and can guide and mentor the candidate throughout his or her lifetime.

The diocesan requirements for a sponsor are the following:
*At least 16 years of age
*Has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation
*Attends Sunday Mass on a weekly basis
*If married, he or she was married in the Catholic Church
*Is not the parent of the candidate
*Understands and accepts the responsibility of being a sponsor.
