Sponsor

Grade 9 students select his/her sponsor by October, 2016

The sponsor assists you in preparing for Confirmation through practicing the “Take 5” (see study sheet) Keep in mind, this is just the beginning of a lifetime relationship. At the end of the two year preparation, you both will be able to appreciate a strong spiritual relationship that will carry on into the future.

Saint Name

Confirmation students study saints in the Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth.

Through research and prayer, students select a particular saint for their Confirmation name.

Do you have anyone in mind for your sponsor?
