Sponsor Information
A Confirmation sponsor is someone that the candidate selects who has been influential in supporting the candidate in their spiritual journey as a Catholic. A sponsor should be practicing Catholic, who has been fully initiated into the Church (fully initiated is someone who has received Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist). If they are married, they should be married in the Catholic Church. The sponsor should also be someone other than the candidates mother or father. If the sponsor is unable to attend the day of the Confirmation ceremony, someone else can stand in as proxy for the sponsor.
​
Each sponsor should fill out this form online: Confirmation Sponsor Registration

Confirmation Saint
In preparation for Confirmation, candidates will research the lives of the Saints and then choose a Saint they spiritually admire. We are reminded by St. Paul that "We are surrounded by so a great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12;1) who we can call upon to intercede for us. Once a candidate selects the life of a Saint, the candidate must submit the name of the Saint to the Confirmation catechist (teacher) or to the Church office: ediaz@stmonicachurch.org.
