The preparation process for the sacrament of Confirmation requires the following:
Regular attendance at Saturday or Sunday Liturgy
Participation in parish TYM sessions and activities
Participation in parish Confirmation sessions and retreats
Regular contact between candidate and sponsor
Sponsors Role:
The role of the sponsor is very important in the formation of the candidates. Sponsors are asked to attend all Confirmation sessions with the candidates and regularly meet outside the sessions to share their faith. They are to be active, practicing Catholics who are Confirmed and 16 years old or older. Confirmation Sponsors cannot be parents of the candidates. If Sponsors are out of the area and unable to attend Confirmation sessions, parents are asked to be proxies and attend with the candidates.
