REQUIREMENTS FOR GODPARENTS FOR YOUR CHILD

Canon Law of the Church says:

  • Must be at least 16 years of age.
  • Must be a baptized Catholic who has completed the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
  • May not be the parent of the child being baptized.
  • If married, must be married in the Catholic Church, regularly attending mass on Sunday, and living their Faith.
  • The two godparents do not have to be married to one another.
  • A baptized non-catholic may not be a godparent but may serve as a witness along with a Catholic godparent.
  • Non-baptized persons may not serve as witnesses or godparents
  • You only need one godparent. It doesn’t matter male or female. If you choose two godparents, then one needs to be a male and the other female.
