RCIA Sponsors
Sponsors are faith companions to someone who is considering becoming a member of the Catholic Church. Sponsors are key people in the initiation process. They share their lives of faith with those journeying to become one with us at the Eucharistic table. Sponsors are not experts or theologians, but they do share one characteristic: a willingness to share themselves and their faith so that others can enter fully in the daily life of our community.Requirements: Be a confirmed, practicing Catholic in good standing and a participating member in the life and worship of the community; have a willingness to share your faith with someone exploring his/her faith life and relationship with Jesus Christ; need to be good listeners, flexible nurturing, prayerful, dependable, and communicative.
