PLEASE NOTE: If your child will be receiving First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, or Confirmation they must attend faith formation sessions 1 year prior to the year they will be receiving those sacraments. I am attaching the Syracuse Diocesan Guidelines for receiving sacraments.
A Sponsor for Confirmation: “A sponsor must be a Catholic who is fully initiated – that is, he/she has received the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation – and who is in good standing with the Catholic Church. Parents may not be sponsors for their own sons and daughters. (Canon 874.5)”
If not a member of Saints John and Andrew, the Sponsor will need to obtain a Sponsor Card from the parish in which they are a member of. All they need do is call and their Parish Office will issue the card and send it to them or sometimes they mail them to me.
