Adult candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation should view the process as coming to the fullness of initiation in the Catholic Christian community. Because of its initiatory character, candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation need a sponsor. Sponsors must have received the Sacraments of Initiation, be free to practice the faith and at least 16 years of age (Canon #892-893). If a sponsor is married, the marriage must be as a Sacrament in the Catholic Church.
