my mom is bugging me to pick one. i have to hand in the paper on the 20th of November
it is a pain in the but. I would pick my godmother but she is in Beruit for 3 more years (log story why)
i have no idea who to ask. the only family members i would aske are not practicing catholics and the rest of my family who are practicing catholics almost never see me, sont know much about me, and i have no idea about them really.
Who did you pick and why?? can you give me sugentions for who i should pick??

James O-- if i was not practicing do you think i would be getting confirmation??? it is not something to take lightly! this is where i declare that i am going to follow God's will and be an adult in the catholic faith.

My grandfather was. He taught me the faith from an early age. He was a good Christian and a good man.

We all had the same one in my Confirmation class years ago.
Some places permit proxy sponsors for confirmed practicing Catholics who cannot be present. A sponsor need not be a relative.
You could ask one of your past CCD teachers.
Are you practicing? If not wait until you are and have a believing friendship with Christ as Lord and Savior

My godparents were my confirmation sponsors as well. I'm sure that any good practicing Catholic will do. Ask your parents for suggestions. They probably have a few.

I became a Catholic as an adult and my sponsor was a wonderful lady from my church who really stood by me through the whole process.
I would say to pick someone from your church that you feel close to and look up to as a Christian.

My Godmother (aunt) was my sponsor. I haven't thought of that in years since I'm not Catholic anymore.

Mine was my next door neighbor. I chose her because she was so nice.
