A Proxy steps in to stand as a representative for a Godparent who cannot physically attend the baptism, ensuring the Godparent's commitment is symbolically present.
Godparent's must obtain a Sponsor Letter from his/her home parish prior to the Baptism. Please submit Sponsor Letters to the parish office prior to the Baptism.
