1. Choosing a Godparent

         Under Canon Law CH IV.

 Godparents can be individuals who have been married in the church and not divorced. 

• A godparent can also be single, not living with another person without the benefit of the sacrament of marriage in the Church. Single and/or married godparents should be actively practicing their faith, weekly Mass goers, and have received the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. (Can. 874 §1. 1-5)
• Godparents are required  to submit their Baptismal, First Communion, and Confirmation certificates. Married godparents are required to submit their marriage certificate.
