Each candidate has a sponsor in confirmation because the sponsor serves as a mentor and guide throughout the preparation process for the sacrament. The sponsor provides support, advice, and guidance as the candidate prepares to deepen their commitment to their faith. Additionally, the sponsor helps to ensure that the candidate is fully prepared to receive the sacrament and understands its significance.
A Confirmation sponsor is a confirmed Catholic in good standing who mentors the Confiramation candidate before he or she is confirmed. Traditionally the Confirmation sponsor is a Godparent (connecting Baptism to Confirmation), but does not have to be.
