| The commitment that the godparents make includes providing advice and spiritual guidance to the godchild. |
| When a child is ready for baptism, the parents first select the godparents. |
| We invite family, godparents and mentors to join in the laying on of hands on confirmation Sunday. |
| The family unit includes godchildren, godparents, and many other members of the extended family. |
