1. Must be 18
2. Must be confirmed in the Catholic Church
3. Must be a currently active in the Catholic Faith
4. Does not need to be a “perfect” individual (No one other than Christ himself is!) but should be continually striving to model and follow Christ in word and action.
5. Must be willing to serve as a spiritual mentor and attend sessions as much as feasibly possible. 

1. Spiritual Guides – Those who take interest in others and their spiritual journeys
2. A Good Listener not intentional problem solvers
3. Prayers
4. Willingness to share their own spiritual journeys - ups and downs
5. Supporters of the candidates
6. NOT Parent replacements

1. First consideration should be baptismal sponsors.  Baptism and Confirmation are linked together along with Eucharist as parts of the initiation process into the Church. Baptismal sponsors would be a perfect first choice in choosing a sponsor for Confirmation.
2. Older siblings of Confirmation candidates who have the experience, understanding and willingness to serve as a spiritual mentor
3. Adult parishioner active in the parish life
4. Parents of classmates who are active in their faith in the parish or neighboring parishes
5. Religious Education teachers who are active in their faith

1. Parents of Confirmation candidates (they already have a most important role in their children’s lives)
2. Good Christian adults who are members of another faith denomination-in other words, their church is not a Catholic church
3. Siblings of the candidate who are not at least 18

 
Sponsor choice belongs to the candidate but parents need to indicate acceptance of that choice.
