Confirmation Sponsor Guidelines

All Confirmation candidates will choose a sponsor in the 11th grade. Please follow these guidelines, sourced from the Archdiocese of Boston, when making your choice:
 
1. The Sponsor must be a confirmed member living a life in harmony with the Catholic Church and be, if possible, the same person who served as the candidate’s Godparent at Baptism.
2. The Sponsor ought to be a living witness to the Catholic faith through regular participation in the sacramental life of the church.
3. The Sponsor ought to communicate to the candidate the importance of daily prayer, regular reception of the sacraments, Christian service and all else that pertains to the preparation process, as well as, to continued Catholic living and reception of the sacrament.
4. Note: Parents may not be a sponsor for their children.
