J.M.J.
Many of us have been asked to be sponsors for a baby to be baptized and/or for a candidate for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Here are the requirements that demonstrate that one is a "practicing Catholic":
1. Attendance at Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation and belief in and adherence to what the Catholic Church teaches;
2. Confession, at least once a year during the Easter Season, and reception of Holy Communion;
3. If married, a marriage recognized in the Catholic Church; if one is not married, he or she must not be cohabitating;
4. At least 16 years old (the Diocesan Bishop may establish another age);
5. One has received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
