A Confirmation Sponsor is a personal witness of the Catholic faith to the candidate. A sponsor is tasked with the responsibility to participate in a candidate’s preparation process. Sponsors should be a model of how a person of faith lives in today’s world. They are guides, confidants, and listeners for their candidates. Sponsors are learners who are interested in their own personal growth as they walk the faith journey with their candidate after Confirmation. They should invite them into fuller participation in parish life and service.
The Catholic Church requires that those who take on the privileges, and also the obligations of a sponsor, practice their Catholic Faith faithfully and live lives that set them apart as followers of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, sponsors must have the following qualifications based on the Code of Canon Law, canon 893.
