    CHURCH LAW requires that a candidate for Baptism – for membership in the Church community – should be sponsored by a baptized and confirmed member of the Catholic church who is willing and able to help the child develop and grow in the Catholic Faith. There must be at least one sponsor or godparent. In the case where there are two sponsors, one must be male and the other female. The maximum number of sponsors is two. The minimum age for a baptized and confirmed Catholic to be a sponsor is sixteen (16) years of age. A baptized Christian non-Catholic may act as a witness. Catholics who are in addition to one Catholic godfather and/or one Catholic godmother, may act as witnesses. Non-baptized persons may not officially act as a sponsor or a witness to a Baptism of a child in the Catholic Faith.
