Can you pray for a child? "The Lord hears the prayer of His saints” (Prov. 15:29).

A Spiritual Godparent offers one of the greatest gifts we can give a young person: faithful prayer. Through this ministry, we remind our children that they are never alone—and that the sacraments are celebrated and supported by the entire Church community.

What does a Spiritual Godparent do?

The role is simple, meaningful, and deeply powerful: pray.

• You will be assigned the name of one or two students
• We ask that you remember them by name in your daily prayer
• There are no meetings, no preparation, and no extra commitments

Just prayer—steadfast, intentional, and rooted in love.

Why your prayer matters

This year, our parish is blessed with:

• 37 students in 2nd and 3rd grade preparing to experience God’s mercy in Reconciliation and to receive Holy Communion for the first time
• 41 students preparing to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation

These children and teens are walking important and sometimes challenging faith journeys. Your prayers can strengthen, encourage, and quietly guide them as they grow closer to Christ.

During the Confirmation retreat, we may invite you to send a short note of encouragement—but prayer remains the heart of this ministry.
