Each year in our parish - and in parishes across the globe - men and women discern the possibility that God may be calling them to join the Catholic Church. It is a profoundly personal journey, but they do not walk alone. The whole church community is called to support these seekers. Our Faith Community is called to support them through our regular prayers and encouragement, our warmth and example of our worship.

Another critical source of support for those making this special journey toward Baptism or full initiation into the Catholic community is that of Sponsors. A sponsor is a spiritual companion who accompanies the candidate on the journey toward a deeper relationship with God.

To be a sponsor you must be a baptized and confirmed Catholic who attends Mass weekly. If you want to learn more about the role of a sponsor, email staugrcia@gmail.com to inquire with an RCIA Team Member and sign up for a Sponsor Workshop (dates to be arranged as we hear from you).

Thank you for considering becoming an RCIA Sponsor!
