TOPICAL NEWS AND INFORMATION
SPONSOR CERTIFICATES (for Baptisms and Confirmation)
Congratulations on having been asked to be a Confirmation Sponsor or Baptismal Godparent. In accepting this responsibility you are to be a witness in the practice of the faith and an advocate for Jesus Christ to the teenager, or you will promise to assist the parents of the child in raising their child in the practice of the faith.
If you are a Confirmed Catholic living in full communion with the Church, if today you are a registered and active parishioner of St. Brendan’s, if marrried, married Sacramentaly in the Church, and are an active participant in parish life (you celebrate Mass with us every week) then please speak with Father Codega after the Sunday Mass you usually attend for a sponsor certificate. It doesn't matter where you received sacraments as a child, you must be practicing the faith today. Please do not wait until the week before the ceremony and please do not ask for a sponsor certificate if you do not come to church. Come back to church first!
Father, is there a minimum requirement to being Catholic?
The Precepts of the Church are defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and are set in the context of a moral life bound to and nourished by liturgical life. In other words, how we live our life and how we celebrate what we believe. The non-optional, obligatory character of these positive laws decreed by the Church is meant to guarantee to the faithful the indispensable minimum in the spirit of prayer, moral effort, and in the growth in love of God and neighbor:1. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor"
2."You shall confess your sins at least once a year"
3."You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season"
4. "You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church"
5. "You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church" each according to his own ability.
Elsewhere in the Catechism we find:
6. Follow the Church's teaching on Marriage
7. Fullfill one's role to engage in the evangelization of the faith.
