GODPARENT’S COMMITMENT
 As a practicing Catholic, I appreciate that being a godparent is an important opportunity for me to witness to my faith and to be a good example of Catholic life to my godchild.  I have conscientiously considered what I have been asked to do.  I promise with God’s help to be the best sponsor I can be.
 
Therefore, I now affirm that

• I am at least 16 years old.
• I have completed my own Christian initiation through the reception of the Sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Eucharist, and if married, have been validly married in a Catholic Church. 
• I am a registered member of a Catholic Church.
• I will continue to be a model of Catholic living for my godchild, through daily prayer, virtuous living and active participation in parish life and liturgy, particularly weekly Sunday Mass.
• I will try to maintain a consistent and life-giving relationship of faith with my godchild by doing such things a celebrating significant moments such as the anniversary of the Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, and graduation, and supporting my godchild in his or her own struggles and triumphs of living a Christian life                .
