RCIA Sponsors
The sponsor is the candidate's link to the parish and is a companion to the candidate during the RCIA period. The sponsor helps to acquaint the candidate with the community and shares his/her faith through participation in the liturgy and shared sessions of the RCIA. The sponsor is not an expert; he/she is simply a companion and thus should be willing to say, "I do not know the answer, but I will find out." The sponsor can answer questions about the Mass, such as postures and gestures; and to some of our other practices of prayer. He/she is a confidant and respects confidentiality and is respectful of the previous religious history of the candidate. Sponsors have a key role in the areas of discernment. They witness to the moral character and development of the candidate and attest to the candidate's intention to go forward for the sacraments of initiation. If you feel you are being called to be a sponsor for an RCIA candidate please contact Deacon Jorge Rodriguez or Esther Rodriguez or call 865-5743 Sponsor / Godparent Information (PDF) Sponsor Requirements Sponsor Prayer Class Location Map (PDF) |
