Dear________________________________
In the Fall of 2007 I will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Roman Catholic Church. I ask you to be my sponsor as I prepare for the sacrament. I am attending religion class to learn more about my faith. I am performing community service and I am growing spiritually through prayer, reception of the sacraments, and attending Mass. I hope you will accompany me on this faith journey.
