A sponsor must have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation.
A sponsor must be at least 16 years of age and may be male or female regardless of the sex of the candidate.
A sponsor must be a practicing Catholic, registered in a parish, who regularly attends Mass on Sundays and Holy Days and receives the Holy Eucharist.
A sponsor must be leading a life in harmony with the faith and the role to be undertaken; therefore, if married, must be married in the Church and if single, must be striving to live a chaste life and therefore cannot be living with a person outside of marriage.
