It is an honor and a privilege to be asked to be someone’s godparent or confirmation sponsor. Sponsors are being asked to not only participate in a ceremony that connects and strengthens a person’s bond with the Holy Spirit, but also to help guide the child down the correct path of life that will lead them to God’s ever-loving embrace.

Choosing a good sponsor is not an easy task. There are criteria that the church requires sponsors to meet to be either a godparent or a confirmation sponsor because being a sponsor comes with duties and responsibilities.

Godparents chosen to take part in a Baptism make a pledge on behalf of the child to renounce Satan, to believe in God and the church, and to guide the child into a life of faith and devotion. The sponsors that take part in the Sacrament of Confirmation are pledging to offer support and guidance for the Confirmation candidate. They will help guide them into adulthood, give them the skills needed to face the challenges in life and help strengthen their faith in God and the church. In both cases, a sponsor is committing to help guide and influence another soul. They must be willing to be responsible for the faithful guidance of this child and act as strong role model of faith for them.
