You are CRITICAL!
Do You Take Your Role as Sponsor Seriously?
Studies show that young people are in desparate need of caring adults playing an active role in their lives. You CAN make a difference!
Do you hear God's call?
CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve been asked to sponsor a young person for Confirmation!
It really is a tremendous honor – and if you’ve found this website, then you obviously understand that it’s a tremendous responsibility as well.
The first time I was a Confirmation Sponsor, I felt flattered and honored. But when I stopped to think about it, I realized I had no idea what it meant to be a Confirmation sponsor! What was I supposed to do?
I barely remembered my own Confirmation and I didn’t recall much about what my Sponsor had done. My sponsor didn’t do anything wrong… but when a young person asked me to be her sponsor, I felt like I was being called to do something much more memorable!
If you feel that same call – if you know the Holy Spirit wants you to play a larger role in your Candidate’s preparation for Confirmation – then you’ve come to the right place!

Christianity and Service
Community service is important to Christians because it allows us to make a positive impact in our communities and is a powerful way to bring the light of Christ to the world. No wonder Candidates are required to do it as they prepare for their Confirmation!
How to Face Overwhelm
We need to show our teens that one of the wonderful things about being a Christian and surrounding ourselves with loving, supportive people, is that we don’t have to face everything alone!
Looking Deeper
To continue to grow in their faith, our teens need to be open to change.
