Basic Guidelines and Information for Infant Baptism (Canon 868)

Parents are responsible for bringing their child to the Sacrament of Baptism as soon after birth as possible. Except in case of necessity, the church is the usual place of baptism.

In order that a child be baptized, it is necessary that…

• the parents consent, or at least one of them, or someone legally standing in their place,
• and that there is reasonable hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Faith.

GODPARENTS: A person may only have one or two godparents (also called sponsors); if two are chosen, they must be male and female (canon 874)

In order for someone to be eligible as a godparent, these are the requirements…

• they be chosen by the parents,
• have the ability and the intention to fulfill the role,
• be at least 16 years of age, and…
• be a confirmed Roman Catholic, who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist and confirmation, is leading a life in harmony with the Catholic Faith (including Marriage) and will be a good role model for the one being baptized,
• and be neither the father nor the mother of the child.
• A baptized person who belongs to another Christian community may be admitted only as a “Christian witness” (not a godparent) provided that there is at least one Roman Catholic godparent who fulfills the above criteria. A non-baptized person cannot be a witness.
