Godparents

The Church requirements for Roman Catholic Godparents are:
A child must have one practicing Roman Catholic godparent in good standing with the Church. This Catholic godparent usually must be at least 16 years old and be mature enough to  understand, accept and carry out the duties of a godparent.

• A godparent must have received the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.
• A godparent must be living an exemplary life consistent with faith and morals as taught by the Roman Catholic Church.
• A godparent must be actively practicing the faith.
• A non-Catholic, baptized Christian may be chosen as a Christian Witness, as long as one godparent is Catholic.

Guests

Each family is allowed to have as many guests as they would like. You will be asked to give the number of guests you expect so that we can reserve that number of seats together.

Donation

It is appropriate to make a donation to Holy Name Cathedral at the time of the Baptism. There is no set amount.

Parking is provided during the ceremony at the Cathedral Parking lot on the corner of State and Superior. The entrance to the lot is on Superior.
