Choosing a Sponsor
We do not journey alone. God created us to live in relationship with others and with Him. The person you choose as your Confirmation sponsor should demonstrate in their lives what it means to be Catholic. He or she will stand up for you, present you before the community, and witness your anointing with chrism. The Church encourages candidates to choose, if possible, one of their Baptismal godparents as their sponsor for Confirmation because it more clearly expresses the link between Baptism and Confirmation. The sponsor’s influence continues after Confirmation. The sponsor should serve as someone you can turn to for help and guidance as you continue your spiritual journey. The qualifications for a sponsor are as follows:
May the Holy Spirit be with all of you as you choose your sponsor! Pray for this person, so that, moved by the Spirit, he or she will accept the role, with a prayerful, enthusiastic response!
