Did you know we have over 80 people in our OCIA/RCIA Adult Confirmation program this year?

Of the 80-90 people we have in RCIA/Adult Confirmation this year there are at least a dozen that do not have an individual who meets the needs to be a Sponsor.  A sponsor must be:

· 16 years or older

· Fully initiated into the Catholic Church (has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion)

· An actively practicing Catholic who, at a minimum, adheres to the five precepts of the Church

· Is not a biological parent

Are you interested in supporting and guiding a confirmandi as he/she progresses on his/her faith journey leading up to and beyond their confirmation?  The experience can be rewarding for the confirmandi, but you might be surprised at the graces God can have in store for you as well.

If you would be willing to serve as a Sponsor for one or more of those in the process of coming into full communion with the Church, please contact Chris Morris, Director of Faith Formation, (714) 639-2900, # 8578 or send him an email to let him know you’re interested: cmorris@hforange.org
