Choosing someone to walk the journey of Confirmation with the candidate is done in the beginning of the first year.  You can always make an appointment with the Confirmation Director to discuss any questions or concerns about choosing a sponsor.

What is a Sponsor?

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles specifies that a sponsor for a Confirmation candidate be sufficiently mature, a fully initiated Catholic, and living a life of faith which befits the role to be undertaken.

What is a Sponsor's Role?

MODEL of how a person of faith lives in today's world as they seek to understand the Lord and the people of God

FRIEND who knows the candidate and can be a witness to his/her maturing faith before our community

GUIDE, confidant and listener who seeks to understand the candidate's life and personal struggle

LEARNER who is interested in their own growth as they walk the faith journey with the candidate

MENTOR, by introducing the candidate to parish organizations in order to meet the community; as well as during the Sunday liturgy and at other special church ceremonies

COMPANION who will continue after Confirmation to walk the faith journey with the candidate and invite them into fuller participation in parish life and service

ATTEND all liturgical rites and specific meetings with the candidate

PRAY for the candidate and team.
