What are the qualities one should look for in choosing a godparent?

In: Catholicism [Edit categories]

Answer:

A godparent should have a good understanding of their Christian faith, be prepared to spend time every now and again with their god son/daughter , e.g maybe take them places every now and then. They should at least visit them and their familyoccasionally, and give gifts once a year on the birthday of their god child and at Christmas if they so wish. It helps if a godparent is good at communicating with children and has a good temperament.
A godparent should also be present at the baptism of their godchild.
