Traditional one male and female godparent is chosen for a child. One godparent MUST be a practicing Catholic who is at least 16 years of age and has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. The second godparent may act as a Christian witness, as long as they have been validly baptized.
Please have your Catholic godparents have a "Letter of Eligibility" sent from their current home, indicating that they are registered parishioners, practicing Catholics, and are qualified to serve as a godparent. If they are registered parishioners of St Mary Magdalen, they do not need this letter.
If one of your godparents is of another Christian denomination please have them send a "Letter of Eligibility" from their pastor/minister stating that they are active members of their church. Please see our website for more on "Letters of Eligibility"
