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 married, 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 Scott 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!

HOLY ORDERS (PRIESTHOOD) or RELIGIOUS LIFE:

Is God calling you to consider the priesthood or Religious Life? Please speak with Fr. Scott and check out the links below.

All local hospitals have Chaplaincy (priests) coverage. Because of privacy issues they may not ask you if you want to see a priest so please request a visit. Please notify us if you, or someone you know, have asked to receive the Anointing of the Sick. Also let us know if you, or someone who is unable to go to church, would like to receive Holy Communion.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be received by any Catholic whose health is in a critical state (CCC 1514-1515, 1528-1529). On such occasions many Catholics receive the Anointing of the Sick with confession and Holy Communion. 

Please do not wait until you or your loved one is nearing death.  As soon as someone enters palliative care (hospice) you should call for the sacrament.  Likewise, if you are facing a procedure (operation or medical testing) and wish to be anointed, please ask.
