Conceivably, yes. Traditionally, probably not. You'd need to discuss this matter with your parish priest (and possibly the Bishop). My guess is they will say no b/c if your child can have 2 Confirmation sponsors then every other kid can too. That would be tantamount to changing the format/process of the Sacrament of Confirmation. It would also create an unnecessary problem in that many kids won't have 2 sponsors while your kid will. And, all the other kids will feel like they need to find 2 sponsors so they won't feel different than their peers. Besides, only one sponsor is necessary. If two are permitted, then why not 3? The focus of the Sacrament is the Sacrament itself and each child's receipt of The Holy Spirit in a profound way, and the child's confirmation into the Catholic faith.

When do Catholics celebrate confirmation?

Roman Catholic AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church, the age for confirmation varies widely depending upon two things. The first thing would be your Rite. The Latin Rite usually celebrates Confirmation between the ages of 12 go 16, although it may be younger, the second thing that it is dependent upon is your Bishop, he is the one who sets the age for confirmation. In the Eastern Rites, it varies, some administer Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion to infants a week old. In all cases of adults, the three are usually administered together.

Do you have to be confirmed in a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic?

no, you do not have to be Catholic as long as one of you are catholic. Addition: I'm not sure who left that last answer, but it's sadly inadequate. Yes, you have to be confirmed in order to be married in the Catholic Church. However I have sometimes seen priests make exceptions for couples who are in the process of getting confirmed but who will not complete their confirmation classes before their wedding date. The first person seems to have answered another question entirely, which is, can a catholic marry a non-catholic in a catholic church. The answer to that question is, yes it is possible, but you need to receive a special dispensation from the priest who is marrying you. Both answers are wrong. Church Law does NOT require Confirmation for a Catholic to be married in a Catholic Church, though it is encouraged. Baptized Catholics have a right to a Church wedding, provided they have no impediments (prior marriage, etc). The Bishop is the only person who can deny someone a Catholic wedding. If a priest, on his own denies someone a wedding without valid reason, they need to be reported to their local diocese. Talk to a good priest and he will answer your questions. there are a lot of uninformed answers on this forum.


Can someone date their confirmation sponsor?

Can't happen under the older rules. If you were a boy- you had to have two Male sponsors- they had to be practicing Catholics, etc. no cross-gender sponsorship was allowed. In this context sponsor had to do with (responses) and nothing to do with financial support or advertising, unlike NBC. In my day it had to be the same gender.


Does a sponsor for a first communicate have to be a practicing Catholic?

Communicants do not normally Require sponsors, there is enough of an ecclesiastical traffic jam in most parishes on this occasion. I believe you are thinking of Confirmation. The answer is yes, in many cases they cannot be members of the immediate family and they absolutely have to be the same gender as the person being confirmed. When I was confirmed Gender Apartheid was in force, there were separate confirmation classes- and ceremonies for the Boys and the Girls./ Male classes were conducted by Brothers and Priests, the Girls by ,in my parish, sthe Sisters of Charity. they were totally separate. again, you could not have a cross-gender sponsor, if you were a male, you had to have two male sponsors, no exceptions to the rule. I thought it a bit cruel as what if you had a very devout aunt or sister (not the nun variety) old enough to meet the age requirements. I was confirmed in l967 and took the name Neil from Cornelius and partly iln (Honor) of Neil Diamond, the popular singer. That was l967 things may have changed in the administration of the sacrament of Confirmation.
