The most important is that the sponsors be Catholics in good standing who are active Catholics and not dormant or fallen-away Catholics. They must also be willing to assure they will help the parents raise the child as a Catholic.
Also, a non-Catholic may be one sponsor but at least one Godparent must be a Catholic.
If parents wish to have their child (either infant or minor charge) they, themselves, must be practicing Catholics [if one of the parties are not Catholic, there is noobligation on their part to attend Mass.] They must also promise to raise and educate their child in the way of the Church. They must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation Their marriage must be a valid marriage, recognized by the Catholic Church. [[NOTE: Only one Godparent is required to be (a practicing) Catholic. The other individual must be a baptized, "Trinitarian" Christian ]] If an Adult wishes to be Baptised they must go through a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation. RCIA.
To be responsible for teaching and growing the person who is baptised in the Catholic faith.
Godparent needs to be baptized Catholic, have received the sacrament of Confirmation, be at leat 16 years old, and be a practicing catholic.
The word godparent isn't a proper noun therefore it shouldn't be capitalized.
You have to have at least one child in school. Then, you go to the babies page that you want to be the godparent of. If they don't already have a godparent, there is a button that says "Become godparent". Click it. A message will be sent to the owner of the baby, if they confirm it you have a godparent! Send them gifts! Add me! Charcharkazoo
You must send a baby to school before you can be a godparent.
Where "godparent" is recognized by a faith community, check with your local pastor. In civil society, the choice of a godparent is entirely up to the parents.
Not neccessarily, if the two are named jointly as godparents this may be the case, however if only one is named godparent, then the other does not automaticly "inherit" the title of godparent.
"godparent" and "sponsor" mean the same. Meaning they are the representatives of the child.
Yes, but the other Godparent must be a Catholic.
Yes, a pope can be a Godparent but would probably only do so for a family member.
Well first of all, you can't become a godparent until one of your babies is in school. After one of them is in school you simply go to the child you want to be your godchild, and over to the right it will say "This baby has no godparent, be this babys godparent!!" Hope this helps!! :)
Yes. Anyone can be a godparent. It's solely based on the decision of the parents.
No, once a Godparent, always a Godparent in the Catholic Church.
