Your sponsor is a huge part of this incredible process. They should be someone that beautifully represents the Catholic faith to you, and someone that you would like to model your life after.  Your sponsor will journey alongside you answering questions, accompanying you as a disciple and witnessing to the deep love of Christ. 

A sponsor must have these qualifications:

• be a Catholic who is at least 16 years old

• have received the Sacrament of Confirmation

• be a person who “leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on"

• not be a parent of the candidate

• In short, a sponsor should be a fully initiated Catholic who is faithful to Christ and his Church.

Bishop Anthony Taylor will be at St. Mary's for the Confirmation Mass.
