RCIA Sponsor

The ministry of the sponsor is a ministry of accompaniment. A sponsor is not a teacher, a spiritual director, or an expert. A sponsor is a living example of what it means to be an ordinary, happy Catholic. They support an RCIA candidate through the gift of their presence, consistently and intentionally, and through acting as a witness of the candidate’s spiritual journey into the Catholic Church.

To be a sponsor, you must be at least 16 years of age and must have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. You must be a practicing Catholic in good standing with the Church, and not the parent, spouse, or partner of the person seeking Confirmation. You will be expected to attend catechetical sessions as required. For more information or to volunteer, please contact the parish office at Contact@ChristTheKingreading.org.
