Godparents & Sponsors

It is not only an honor to be a godparent/sponsor for a child at Baptism/Confirmation, it is also a great responsibility. Godparents/sponsors promise to help the parents rear the child in the Catholic faith. That means that godparents/sponsors must also be Catholic in order to fulfill their responsibilities. Below is some information to help you choose a godparent/sponsor for your child:

For Baptism, every child must have at least one godparent. If there are two godparents, one should be a male and one should be a female. 

A godparent/sponsor should be a Sacramentally Confirmed Catholic.

A godparent/sponsor should be at least 16 years old. 

A godparent/sponsor may not be the mother or father of the child to be baptized.
