Yes indeed, your godparent can be your Confirmation Sponsor. However, your godparent does not have to be your Confirmation Sponsor. It can be anyone who exemplifies leading a good Christian life. You might pick a family member, neighbor, favorite teacher, or if you have a special bond with the person you could even ask a nun or priest. However, this person should be someone you see often throughout your life.
Yes, definitely.
a)You are my godparent. Or, b)You are an inspiration to me as a Christian.

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.
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.
"godparent" and "sponsor" mean the same. Meaning they are the representatives of the child.
Catholic AnswerNo, you cannot. Godparents form a spiritual bond with their godchildren. If a godparent fails in their duty or drifts with time, it is like a familial relation, they will always be your godparent no matter what. A Confirmation sponsor is a different role altogether. The sponsor is one who affirms you are ready to become an adult in grace before the eyes of the Church and presents you as such. No spiritual bond is made, though you may certainly stay close with your sponsor.
No, but, she can act as stand in for the chosen sponsor, should the sponsor not be able to be physically present at the Confirmation Mass.
If they can, they will. If not, someone will standi in their place & represent them.
No, you would need to be confirmed to be a sponsor.
In case something happens to a parent, there will be a godparent to insure the child continues his/her religious education until Confirmation.
"Pangukol" is a Filipino word that means a person who acts as a godparent or sponsor during a baptism or confirmation ceremony in the Catholic faith. This role involves providing spiritual guidance and support to the individual being baptized or confirmed.
Confirmation does not normally require a sponsor, although most bishops ask for one. In the case that your bishop requires a sponsor, he would issue the rules for that, normally any confirmed Catholic in good standing with the Church.
