Santa Cruz Catholic Church

As a Confirmation sponsor, your role is to be an example to your Confirmation candidate. You are called to reflect with the candidate on the meaning of a life of Catholic discipleship.

The Code of Canon Law (Church Law) specifies that the requirements for serving as a sponsor at Confirmation (Canon 893) are the same as those for godparents at Baptism (Canon 874): You may not be the parent of the person being confirmed; you must be at least 16 years old; you must be fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist); if married, be in a valid Catholic marriage; and live a life of active faith in the Catholic Church. The candidate can only have one (1) sponsor for Confirmation. Even if it is a married couple.
