The Church has established the following norms governing the qualifications needed to be a Godparent. The Godparent must: be at least sixteen (16) years old; be a Catholic who has been Confirmed and has already received the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist and leads a life in harmony with the faith and role to be undertaken; not be bound by any canonical penalty ; What does it mean to lead a life in harmony with the faith and role to be undertaken? In addition to being a fully initiated Catholic (i.e., having received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) the Godparent must also be person of faith one who regularly attends Sunday Mass, has been married according to the norms of the Catholic Church (if married), and strives to deepen his or her own relationship with God through Jesus. A good question to ask is: Does this person take care of their own faith...if not he/she likely to help take care of my child s? May a non-catholic be a Godparent? Because the child is being baptized into the Roman Catholic Church, a baptized person who belongs to a non-catholic ecclesial community may not be admitted except as a witness to baptism and together with a Catholic Godparent. (Canon 874,2). In other words, as long as there is one Catholic Godparent who meets all the requirements of the Church listed above, another baptized person, Catholic or non-catholic, may be witness to the baptism.
