I thought you just needed to be baptized/christianed.
Don't quote me on this, but I would think that at least one would have to be confirmed.... the whole point of godparents are to raise the childen in the faith in the event that the parents are not able... so I would assume that they should be full members of the Church, which occurs at Confimation. However, I would talk to the priest about it...and see what they say. GOOD LUCK!
Thats what I thought. I know at MY church both have to be, but Im not sure about DHs church, so I will have to call and find out. TIA
I'm pretty sure it depends on the church. I was not confirmed, but I am my niece's godmother.
Thats why I was so confused, because I am a godparent but I was not confirmed.
Last August when we baptized my son the big thing was the godfather had received his confirmation and I was told only one godparent had to...as for batism Im pretty sure they both had to have been baptized...they were so I'm not sure if they had to be or not. Sorry! I agree with calling your church and finding out!!
my nephew was baptized in the catholic church. I was baptized in catholic church but received communion and confirmation in Lutheran church. My cousin who is nephews godfather was baptized, but never rcd communion or confirmation at all.
I am both baptized & confirmed but did not have to prove either to by a god mother.
When I was going to be Godmother for my Godchild I had to undergo an interview with the Pastor of my church and he asked if I was a practicing Catholic, how many times I went to church and if I had recieved the sacraments of Baptism and Confirnmation and he had to sign off on paperwork...I would think that Godparents would have to have had recieved these sacraments since they are supposedely expected to raise the child in the event something happens (according to the church)
my son was JUST BAPTIZED AND YES IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THEY MUST BE CONFIRMED MY SISTER WASNT BUT WE STILL HAD HER ANYWAY OUR CHURCH TOLD US SHE COULD GO THROUGH THE CEREMONY AND NOBODY WOULD KNOW SHE IS NOT OFFICIALLY THE GODMOTHER...HER NAME WOULD JUST NOT BE ON THE CERTIFICATE 1 OF THE 2 GODPARENTS MUST BE CONFIRMED WE HAD TO HAVE PROOF OF CONFIRMATION BEFORE THEY WOULD SCHEDULE US FOR THE MANDATORY MEETING, NAD WITHOUT THE MEETING YOU CANT HAVE YOUR BABY BAPTIZED.....(sorry about the caps) didnt realize it was on!
