Godparent Information
Godparents (1 male & 1 female) must be at least sixteen years of age and fully initiated in the Roman Catholic Church. This means they have received all three Sacraments of Initiation, which are Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. Godparents must also be active Catholics in a state of grace.
Godparents can be single, but if they are married, they must be married in the Catholic Church.
One Godparent must meet the above requirements.
If the parents wish to choose someone who does not meet these requirements, they would be considered a Christian Witness instead of a Godparent.
Any other questions, please contact the office.
