Sponsor Candidate Conversations
These guided conversations are one of the most important parts of the confirmation process. These conversations prompt the sponsor and candidate to talk about faith, prayer, the church and their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Candidates - if your sponsor needs to be reminded it is time for a conversation - please do! Likewise, sponsors may need to encourage their candidate to set aside the time for this important part of the preparation.
Parents - you are key. Perhaps you need to be a social director and make the appointment. Perhaps the sponsor is just not comfortable sharing about these things, or realize they are not far enough along in the life of faith to have these conversations effectively. It is no shame to say that a different sponsor might be better able to perform this task. Alternatively, keep your original sponsor, but add a mentor to do the work.
Candidates and Sponsors, please don't let these opportunities for faith-sharing pass you by. Each conversation is reflective of and builds on what was discussed in the group session
