This might be why some here have said “we are not allowed to ask…”. LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION I am 16 years of age or older. We have to question to make sure one IS Catholic.the rule about the name of the Christian witness (who may stand up in addition to the Catholic godparent) not appearing on the baptismal record should be universal.It’s supposed to be in the register, per Canon Law, but it would certainly make sense not to list someone as ‘Godparent’ on the certificate when we go to so much trouble trying to get the parents to understand that they are in fact NOT godparents.Most pastors still require that their own parishioners obtain a letter of permission before they serve as a sponsor or godparent for someone outside their own parish.I don’t really understand the logic for that, but hey, they’re the pastors. I have received the three Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist & Confirmation). This letter of recommendation must be sent to Immaculate Conception Church before the Baptism can be scheduled. We are beginning our Reopening Process! This is accomplished by contacting the parish in which they are registered. Most pastors still require that their own parishioners obtain a letter of permission before they serve as a sponsor or godparent for someone outside their own parish.especially if you will be serving outside your immediate area, best come prepared with docs as suggested by Bro, and also find out if you are required to attend pre-baptismal classes along with the parents, or if you can take those classes in your own parish and bring proof. It really isn’t a new requirement, but our bishops are getting better at following the law.Here’s what the 1983 Code of Canon Law says about godparents/sponsors:When Canon Law uses the word “must”, it implies some sort of check or verification.The actual form of the verification is probably left to each bishop, so the practice may vary between dioceses. In my diocese, we have a standard form used to provide proof of attendance and sacramental life. my cousin just asked my to be godmother to her baby due in october. (that we can and must ask for. Ours couldn’t care less, he’s only too happy to have me write a letter of permission for kids to be baptized elsewhere.especially if you will be serving outside your immediate area, best come prepared with docs as suggested by Bro, and also find out if you are required to attend pre-baptismal classes along with the parents, or if you can take those classes in your own parish and bring proof.

Many Adult Catholics from the last 30-40 years have not been Confirmed. Our bishop put it in place because of many abuses. her parish requires that all godparents have a “note” from their pastor that they are practicing catholics.

Please see below for more information about Mass and Confession times. You must take responsibility for your own life of faith to see that it is in keeping with serving as a godparent/sponsor.
