Congratulations! As is stated on the Sponsor Certificate, "To be a godparent/sponsor is both an honor and an awesome responsibility, as it calls one to draw even deeper into the heart of Christ to gain wisdom in guiding the spiritual life of the candidate in the ways of Christ and His Church. The godparent/sponsor, together with the parents, must be willing to help the baptized/confirmed grow in love for Christ and neighbor. By word and example, the godparent/sponsor will encourage the candidate to live the Christian life and fulfill faithfully the obligations connected with it (cf. Code of Canon Law, c. 872)."
If you have been asked to be a Confirmation sponsor, please download the Sponsor Certificate form and review the requirements. If you meet the requirements of being a sponsor, complete the form and present it to the church where the sacrament is being celebrated.
