Sponsors

Role of Sponsor
The Sponsor has the supportive role of providing positive example of the practice of our Catholic faith. It has been strongly recommended that the Sponsor be the Baptismal Godparent since this sacrament is a continuation of the Spirit's coming to the Candidate.

Eligibility of Sponsor
The sponsor must
 * Be at least 16 years old
 * have received the sacraments of Baptism, Penance, Eucharist, and Confirmation
 * obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (embossed or sealed) from his or her pastor indicating good standing within his or her Parish.


 * The Sponsor offers spiritual guidance and serves as an example of Christian living.
 * The Sponsor may be male or female for any candidate.
 * However, the Sponsor may **not** be the parent.
