Certificate of Eligibility/Sponsor letter

In order for someone to act as a Godparent or a Sponsor for Confirmation, they must have received the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.  If they are married, they must have been married in a Catholic Church or in a ceremony recognized by the Catholic Church.

Godparents and Sponsors must also obtain a Certificate of Eligibility   from their home parishes indicating that they are attending Mass on a regular basis and that they fulfill all requirements.  If both Godparents are Catholic, they both must obtain certificates.

If you are a member of St. Bernadettes and were asked to be a Godparent or a Confirmation Sponsor, please come to the Parish Office to pick up a Certificate of Eligibility   form or click the link below for a printable form.
