GODPARENTS
Requirements for Godparents
The role of Godparent is a serious obligation. The Godparent is to live his or her life faithfully and actively as a Catholic Christian. He or she should serve as a role model for the child and be well formed in the Catholic faith. There may be two Godparents per child, one male and one female, or there may be only one Godparent. To qualify, a Godparent candidate must meet these requirements: (1) be a Catholic who has received the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation; (2) be at least 16 years of age on the date of the child's baptism; (3) be registered and actively participating in a Catholic parish where he or she resides and be able to provide written certification from the pastor of that parish; (4) if married, was married within the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church; (5) not be the mother or father of the child. Baptized Christians of other traditions are welcome to serve as Christian witnesses but do not have an official status in the baptism. The witness need only be baptized. No certification is required. Catholics may not serve as Christian Witnesses. If a Godparent cannot be physically present for the baptism, he or she may be represented by a proxy, someone whom he or she appoints. The proxy may be any person who has personal understanding of the Godparent's intentions to serve as a Catholic role model for the child.

Christian Witnesses are baptized persons of a Christian tradition other than the Catholic Church. The Christian Witness is a person honored by the family for his/her Christian discipleship. The Christian Witness is not a Godparent as only persons professing and living the Catholic faith are eligible to be a Godparent. The Christian Witness is invited to stand with the family at the celebration of the Baptism. Catholics may not serve as Christian Witnesses.
