CONFIRMATION SPONSOR COVENANT   

As a Confirmation sponsor, your role is to encourage the faith of your candidate and be

an “example” to your Confirmation candidate and to reflect with the candidate on the

meaning of a life of Catholic discipleship.   

The Code of Canon Law (Church Law) specifies the requirements for serving as a

sponsor at Confirmation (Canon 893) are the same as those for godparents at Baptism

(Canon 874): You may not be the parent of the person being confirmed; you must be at

least 16 years old; you must be fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist); if

married, be in valid Catholic marriage; and live a life of active faith in the Catholic

Church.
