GODPARENT REQUIREMENTS1. There needs to be only one Godparent. If there are two, then one must be male, the other
female. (Canon 873)
2. Canon 874 requires that Godparents MUST: Be chosen by the parent, must be Catholic, 16
years of age or older, to have received 1st Eucharist, have been Confirmed, and not the parent
of the child to be baptized.
3. If Godparent(s) are married, they need to be married in the Catholic Church (not civily married
only).
4. A Non-Catholic Christian may act as a “witness” along with a Catholic Godparent (Canon 874).
Persons who are not Catholic but belong to one of the Eastern Orthodox Churches may act as
Godparent(s).
5. Non-Catholic Christians, who act as “witnesses,” will be recorded as “Christian Witnesses,” not
as a Godparent. However, if the non-Catholic person belongs to an Eastern Orthodox Church,
such a person may act as and be recorded as a Godparent.
