The Role of the Godparent - A Call To Integrity

What the Catholic Church teaches about the role of Godparents

Sacrament of Baptism
The sacrament of baptism ushers us into the divine life, cleanses us from sin, and initiates us as members of the Christian community. It is the foundation for the sacramental life.

Participating in God’s Family is not like participating in any earthly club or organization. There is something deeper and more meaningful going on; something that doesn’t just begin and end with us. Rather, our participation in the life of the Church begins with an invitation from God to become his children. We say yes to the invitation through our participation in the sacraments — in particular, the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, the Eucharist, and Confirmation.
