Sponsorship information

For the grace of Baptism to unfold, the parents' help is important,  So too is the role of the godfather and godmother, who must be firm believers, able and ready to help the newly baptized - child or adult on the road to Christian life.  Their task is a truly ecclesial function (officium). The whole eccesial community bears some responsibility for the development and safeguarding of the grace given at Baptism.  (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1255)

Things to consider while discerning sponsorship include:

• Am I myself Baptized?
• How often do I go to mass and confession?
• Am I living a moral life according to Catholic Church teaching?
