SPONSORS FOR THE SACRAMENTS: One of the very important traditions and practices of the Catholic faith is the role of Godparents at Baptism & Sponsors for Confirmation. To serve as a sponsor it is required that a person be at least 16 years of age, received the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation and if married, be married according to the regulations for marriage as provided by the Roman Catholic Church. Also, the sponsor is to be a weekly participant in the Sunday Eucharist & actively strive to live out their own baptismal commitment to Christ (cf. Code of Canon Law, c.874).
