Regarding sponsors for the Sacrament of First Eucharist:
Bishop Barnes, Diocesan Clergy, our Parish Clergy, and ministry leaders believe that parents are the sponsors of this sacrament.  Parents are responsible to get their children to Mass every week, and to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation twice a year; thus, they are the Eucharist sponsors of their children.
