The sponsor that is chosen must be:
- at least 16 years of age,
- be an active member of the Catholic church, &
- have been initiated into the three sacraments of
Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist (Communion).

It is desirable that the godparent at Baptism, if available,
also be the sponsor at Confirmation.
If this is not possible, another sponsor may be chosen.
Sponsors may be male or female but may not be the candidate's parent.

Sponsors should have their pastors
complete the Sponsor Eligibility Form and then
return it to the Religious Education Office.
