Godparents
A Catholic godparent must be a practicing Catholic, attained at least 16 years of age, not bound by any canonical penalty, not the father or mother and who has received the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. If you are having difficulty in finding a godparent, St. Joan of Arc can provide one.
At least one Catholic godparent is required for Baptism. If you would like to have a Christian Witness, someone belonging to a Christian Church other than the Catholic Church, you may have them stand at the Baptism as well. Only Catholic godparents will be listed on the Baptismal certificate.
Please indicate below whether the individuals are a godparent or christian witness.
