  • Godparent Information

  • Godparents play a crucial role not only in a child's baptism but in the child's life as a Catholic Christian. The godparent presents the child for baptism along with the parents. Throughout the child’s life, they will pray for the child, assist parents in fostering a relationship with Christ, and witness to the Christian faith through their lives.


    Please use the following guidelines in choosing each godparent:

    • You may choose up to two godparents.
    • If you choose to have only one godparent, they may be male or female.
    • Godparents can be relatives but not parents or legal guardians.
    • Godparents must be at least 16 years old.
    • Two godparents do not need to be married to one another.
    • Two godparents may consist of one male or one female, two males or two females together are not allowed to be godparents.
      • At least one of the Godparents must be a Catholic who:
      • has received all of the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation).
      • is attempting to live out their faith through prayer, going to Mass and Confession, being part of their faith community, and loving one another, including those in need.
      • is either married within the Church or unmarried, divorced or widowed and not living with a partner
    • For the second godparent, you may choose a non-Catholic Christian. Designated as a "Christian witness,” they will participate in the baptism with the other godparent. A Christian witness is permitted as long as you have one Catholic godparent.
    • The Christian witness must be:
      • baptized
      • attempting to live out their faith through prayer, going to Church and being part of their faith community, and loving one another, including those in need.
    • If a godparent cannot be present at the baptism, they may be represented by proxy. The proxy can be Catholic or a Christian of another denomination. The godparent may designate the proxy on the Godparent Form.
    • The selection of godparents may not be changed after the baptism.
  • After reading the above criteria for Godparents, please choose one of the following:*
  • Is your child currently enrolled in a Catholic school and seeking to receive First Sacraments in the upcoming school year?*
