It is required to have at least one of the godparents to be an active and practicing Catholic member of a parish. If the godfather and/or the godmother are not members of St. Leo's Parish, they must obtain a letter or statement from their Catholic pastor before the Baptism, stating that he and/or she are qualified to act in this capacity. This letter needs to be sent to the St. Leo Parish Office at 335 Springdale Avenue, Winston Salem, NC 27104. The other godparent may be another Catholic or a Christian witness.
