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.
Requirements for a sponsor:
We find people in scripture whose names were changed. This is an outward sign of an interior change!
ABRAM --> ABRAHAM
“No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.” -Genesis 17:5
JACOB --> ISRAEL
“Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans have overcome.” -Genesis 32:28
SIMON --> PETER
“And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas (which is translated to Peter)” –John 1:42
“Changing” your name shows a conversion of heart, and radiates God’s goodness to the entire world. Throughout scripture, when someone was assigned a new name, it signaled a growth in Christian maturity to the world—choose a name of a Saint that has helped you grow in that Christian Maturity.
As a community of faith we are responsible to minister to and to call forth for ministry this entire group within the community. The confirmation preparation process is both individual and communal. Responding to the diversity of confirmands includes many different learning styles, interests, starting points, experiences, abilities and limitations. The Christian life calls us to a life-long process of faith development. Preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation is a moment in this lifelong process which is focused on the Rite of Confirmation and the call to involvement in the life, mission and work of the church.
ABOUT
Chosen equips leaders and volunteers with a powerful set of tools and resources, allowing them to concentrate on the things that matter most: helping teens fall in love with the truth, beauty and joy of Christ and His Church. Featuring multiple dynamic presenters in visually stunning, fast-paced videos, along with fully integrated written materials for students, parents, sponsors and leaders, as well as a rich offering of free, online resources, Chosen is unlike anything available in the Church today.
Confirmation (typically 10th grade) draws us more deeply into God's power and love that lives within each of us and the Church. Having first experienced the Spirit of God through Baptism, we are drawn into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God the Father through a continuing unfolding of the gifts of the Spirit which gives us strength to boldly witness Christ.
All Confirmation students are expected to be a part of the Parish Youth Group.
