When is godchildrens day?
The First Sunday of each June is "Godparents Day". In asking God's Church for Faith for the newly baptized, Godparents freely take on responsibility to help their godchild on the road of Christian Life; yet, the majority of Godparents fail to have any significant communication concerning spritual matters with their God children. "Godparents Day" is a wonderful way for a Parish to gently remind and encourage Godparents to communicate with their God children and for God Children to communicate with their Godparents concerning spiritual matters. http://www.parishprojects.com/godparents.asp

What responsibilities do godparents have if the parents of the child are neither Christian or Catholic?
Choosing Godparents today doesn't mean much of anything with the exception of the parents regarding the couple highly enough to even ask them. Being a true Godparent years ago meant that the Godparents were there to help in any way they could and if both parents were to pass on then the Godparents were to take the child(ren) in as their own. Now it has simply become a ritual. If the child was baptized as a Catholic,then its the responsibility of the parents and the godparents to ensure that the child is raised a Catholic. During the baptism the Parents and Godparent(s) would make a VOW on behalf of the child.So if the Parents don't fulfill their vows or changed their faith or died then it would be the God parent(s) duties to ensure that their Godchild's baptismal vows is fulfilled...(by teaching them of their christian duties as a Catholic and being an example of faith and prayer etc) It doesn't mean that by being a Godparent you have a legal responsibility for the child,but you do have a spiritual Responsibility....thats why its called God-Parent...Then when the child's older they'll renew their baptismal vows through Confirmation..
When did godparents come about in the Catholic church?
Godparents have their roots in early Christianity, with formal recognition in the Catholic Church dating back to the 3rd century. They were originally appointed to assist in the baptism of adult converts and later became integral to the baptism of infants. The role of godparents was formally established in the Church's canon law during the Middle Ages, emphasizing their responsibility to guide the spiritual upbringing of their godchildren. Today, godparents play a significant role in Catholic baptism rituals, symbolizing support in the child's faith journey.
