Godparents
Godparents are chosen to be a support for parents and a spiritual guide and role model for the child. Families choose two godparents, although having one Catholic godparent and a Christian witness is allowed. If godparents cannot attend, a proxy can fill in. Roman Catholic godparents must meet these guidelines:
Of different genders when two are chosen
At least 16 years of age
Have received the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation
If married, be in a marriage recognized by the Catholic Church.
