You promise to make sure that the child grows up knowing about God, and right and wrong.
Godparents are supposed to buy one, its up the parents and grandparents for the other.
The godparent's traditionally purchase the baby clothing for a Christening or Baptism. Nowadays that tradition has fallen by the wayside quite considerably with the grandparents picking up that role.
Officially, a child can only have a Catholic christening if at least one parent is a Catholic, as the priest needs to have a "well-founded hope" that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Faith. No, not really. Some religions do have rules but normally, the is no.
Well, by following the movie, it's clear only one Godfather was and could be expected to be on time to any Christening.....or other event for that matter. Answer No - or at least it is at the discretion of the minister conducting the service. In baptism the child's parents may choose several godparents, and provided the minimum number are present (this depends upon the denomination - it might be two, three or four) then the service can go ahead, minus the late Godparent, who can join in after making his or her vows separately, when he or she arrives. However, if there is a real problem - for example, family have come from a long distance, or a venue has been booked at a particular time for a celebration afterwards or any number of other mitigating circumstances, any other baptised adult can stand in and be a 'godparent by proxy' and make the vows (with suitable amendments) on behalf of the other godparent, until he or she arrives.
The word godparent isn't a proper noun therefore it shouldn't be capitalized.
Yes you can have a christening on a Friday.
You have to have at least one child in school. Then, you go to the babies page that you want to be the godparent of. If they don't already have a godparent, there is a button that says "Become godparent". Click it. A message will be sent to the owner of the baby, if they confirm it you have a godparent! Send them gifts! Add me! Charcharkazoo
You must send a baby to school before you can be a godparent.
"To my special grandchildren on your christening day."
Where "godparent" is recognized by a faith community, check with your local pastor. In civil society, the choice of a godparent is entirely up to the parents.
Christening Gowns sells a wide variety of gowns and outfits for baby's first Christening. They sell all the items you may need in order to have a beautiful Christening for your child.
Not neccessarily, if the two are named jointly as godparents this may be the case, however if only one is named godparent, then the other does not automaticly "inherit" the title of godparent.
