Confirmation Requirements2017-2018 Parent/Student Guide

Due to the nature and importance of the sacrament, we have a number of requirements in place to ensure your student understands what Confirmation is and to help them get the most from this important milestone in her/his life.

Preparation for Confirmation is a two-year process that can begin your student’s Freshmen, Sophomore, or Junior year of high school. The Confirmation requirements differ depending on if your student is in their first or second year of preparation.

This program has been developed so that your student can take responsibility for completing the necessary requirements. Despite the emphasis on your student taking charge of completing all of the necessary tasks, there are certain aspects to the process where you can assist in or facilitate the process to complete the requirement. Below is an overview of when the requirements are due.

COMMUNICATION IS KEYYou will receive emails following our sessions informing you about what we covered during our lesson and will be given prompts to help begin a conversation about the material covered. These emails are packed with information and we do hope you’ll take the time to review them each week. If you do not have an email address, please let us know so that we can make other arrangements to get information to you.

ROLE OF THE SPONSOR

The Church defines a Sponsor: “The sponsor’s function is to take care that the person confirmed behaves as a true witness of Christ and faithfully fulfills the duties inherent in this sacrament.”

A sponsor is: 1. A role model; a person who fully embraces and lives their faith fully. 2. A mentor, someone to help guide and encourage the Candidate. Walking side by side as the Candidate

seeks to respond to God’s call. 3. A trusted adult, who is willing to stand with the Candidate not only during a ceremony, but throughout

life’s journey.

Code of Canon Law # 893 states:“… that a person who would undertake the office of sponsor must fulfill the conditions mentioned in Can. 874

and that it is desirable that the sponsor chosen be the one who undertook this role at baptism.”

Code of Canon Law #874 states:“To be admitted to undertake the office of sponsor, a person must:

1. Be appointed by the candidate for baptism, or by the parents or whoever stands in their place, or failing these, by the parish priest or minister. To be appointed the person must be suitable for this role and have the intention of fulfilling it;

2. Not be less than 16 years of age; 3. Be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has received the blessed Eucharist, and who lives a life of

faith which befits the role to be undertaken; (Must attend Sunday liturgy every week, valid marriage if married.) Not labor under a canonical penalty, whether imposed or declared; (Must be in a state of Grace.)

4. Not be either the father or mother of the person to be confirmed.”

Each Candidate may only have ONE sponsor for Confirmation

SPONSORS ARE ASKED TO: PRAY FOR and WITH the candidate!

Actively participate in the process, helping and discussing the Sponsor Manual activities, while sharing their faith with their Candidate.

Attend the Confirmation Day Retreat and Rehearsal before Confirmation, and Attend the Confirmation Ceremony

Be an active member within their local Catholic community. Attending Sunday Mass every week. Complete the Diocese of Austin Sponsor Covenant form

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.

Who’s Your Saint?

Picking The Name Of A Saint

Saints are our brothers and sisters in Christ. They intercede for us before God. We cannot refer to the saints without acknowledging the Communion of Saints and our connection in Christ to each other. Youth will be asked to pick a Saint name for Confirmation and write an essay explaining their choice.

Essay on Saint should include:

Name of the Saint chosen, a brief synopsis of the life of the Saint and “Why” they choose this saint.

This should reflect an understanding of the Saint. The student may also be asked why they chose this Saint in their confirmation interview.

Essay’s must be a minimum 2 paragraphs and a maximum of 1 page.

Here are some websites to help in your research:
