To be a sponsor for Baptism or Confirmation your must have received all three sacraments of Initiation including Confirmation, be a registered member of the Parish, go to Mass on a regular basis, and if married be married in the Church. The reason for these requirements is that a sponsor is a witness or example to the Catholic faith for the newly baptized or confirmed.

Thus if you received your sacraments at St. John of God, but no longer attend Mass there you would not ask to get a sponsor form from us. You would get it from the Church were you worship today.
The procedure to get a sponsor form is to first called the rectory, and speak with Lydia our Parish secretary. She will check to see if you are registered.
