Only one godparent is required. A godparent must be a Catholic, living the Catholic faith, in full communion with the Church, and at least 16 years of age. Godparents must have received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and 1st Holy Communion and, if married, the marriage must be in the Catholic Church.
If a Catholic Godparent is not a member of St. John Nepomuk Church, his/her parish priest must send a signed and sealed SJN Godparent Affidavid OR a letter stating the parishioner is qualified to be a godparent. This must be submitted to our parish office in order to schedule a baptism.
