There must only be one male godparent or one female godparent or one of each.
If a Godparent is unable to attend another person may stand in as a Proxy.
Godparents must be at least 16 years of age, have been Baptised Catholic themselves, and received the Sacrament of Confirmation, and live a lifestyle which reflects the role they are undertaking.
Please Note If Godparents are from overseas or otherwise outside the Parish/Diocese they may be asked to provide a record of their Sacraments (Baptism and Confirmation). These may be obtained by contacting the Parish where you received the Sacraments and requesting your record.
