The people I chose to be my child’s godparents are making no attempt to build a special relationship with her. I’ve talked to them about it, but it didn’t help. Is it possible to replace them? When my niece Hayley was five, she asked me to be her “step”-godfather because she didn’t know who her godfather was. The family friend my sister invited to be Haley’s godfather has moved out of state and seems to have forgotten that Haley is his godchild. Godparents have responsibilities beyond baptism day. The Code of Canon Law says a godparent also “helps the baptized person to lead a Christian life in keeping with baptism and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it” (872). A godparent should be present for the child’s first Communion and encourage the child to live a Christian life as he or she grows older. Unfortunately, parents can’t “fire” neglectful godparents and replace them, but neither are parents limited to asking only two godparents to help their child grow in the faith. Parents can - and should - ask others to help support their child’s faith development as he or she grows up: a teacher, a grandparent, or a friend in the town where your child has gone away to college. After all, children are baptized into a community of believers, and we all have the responsibility to help children - and one another lead Christian lives. Fr. Patrick Keyes, CSsR [email protected]
