The role of SPONSOR in the RCIA is critical to the entire process of Christian initiation. The sponsor is the most effective link between the Catholic community and the catechumen or candidate. What should we look for in a potential sponsor? What kind of formation and
direction can we offer? How do sponsors grow in their role as mentors, models, guides and companions?
Fr. Ron Lewinski, a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, is pastor of St. Mary of the Annunciation Parish in Mundelein, IL. He is a founding member of the North American Forum on the Catechumenate and the author of Welcoming the New Catholic and A Guide for Sponsors. He is a frequent speaker and author on liturgy, the RCIA and pastoral life. He is the former director of Chicago’s Office for Divine Worship and a recipient of the National Catholic Education Association’s 2011 Pastor of the Year Award.
The deadline for registration is November 8, 2023 at 2:00 pm Eastern time.
