Godparent information
It is customary to have two sponsors (or "godparents"), one male and one female. The role of the sponsor is to assist the child’s parents in passing on the Christian faith. At least one sponsor must be a confirmed, practicing Catholic over the age of 16. A baptized non-Catholic can serve as the other sponsor. Such a person is known as a Christian witness. If you have questions about godparents, just send us a note! info@newroadscatholic.org
