RCIA SPONSOR

What's a Sponsor? A sponsor is an active, practicing Catholic that is willing to be a companion to someone going through the R.C.I.A. process. As they get acquainted they listen, answer questions, pray together, and connect them with the parish.

Sponsors find their role to be one that enriches and deepens their own faith as well. It is a very rewarding experience.

If you do not have a sponsor, the parish can work with you to find one who is willing and able to help in this way.

It is not recommended to have your fiance(e), fiance(e)'s parents, boyfriend/girlfriend, or boss be your sponsor. It is recommended to find someone that you know who is actively, and dynamically living their Catholic faith, and someone that can answer questions, pray for you, join you in the R.C.I.A. process, and walk with you along the way.
