Notes

As a parent or godparent you should ask yourself:

Are you prepared to to the best of your ability to give the child a Christian upbringing within the family of Christ's Church?

Will you help the child to be regular in public worship and in prayer, not only by your teaching but also by your example and your prayers?

Will you encourage the child in due time to come to Confirmation and Communion?

It is not essential under Church Law for parents to be baptized and confirmed, unless they are to be godparents.

It is usual to have three godparents, two of the same sex as the child and one of the opposite sex, but to have one godfather and one godmother is sufficient if there are problems in finding three godparents.


Parents may be godparents to their own children, provided that the child has at least one other godparent

The usual times for baptism are
