Holy Baptism - Godparents

Godparents:

 

To be a Godparent is an honour and a privilege. Your duties are specifically religious as implied by the title “God” and the Church asks a number of things of you:

 

·        You must believe in God

 

·        You must be baptised (christened)

 

·        You must help to bring up your Godchildren in the Christian Faith and we ask you (along with the parents) to:

 

·        Make sure that they come to Church/Sunday School every Sunday; Pray for them; make sure they have a copy of the Bible; teach them the Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments; make sure they are taught the Catechism and are brought to the Bishop for Confirmation (we can help with the last two)

 

·        They are some other ways in which you can help: Visit them regularly; come to see them when they are in eg school Nativity Plays; give them good Christian presents at Birthday/Christmas eg Christian DVDs or books with Bible Stories/Stories of the Saints and Christian Heroes like St Francis or St David
