Eligibility
Have you been asked to be a godparent or Confirmation sponsor? What an honor! According to Catholic Church’s Code of Canon Law, godparents and sponsors must:
■ Be a practicing Catholic in good standing with the Church
■ Be at least 16 years of age
■ Have received the sacraments of Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation
■ If married, be in a valid sacramental marriage
■ Not be bound by canonical penalties
■ Not be the father or mother (of one being baptized)
Letter of Good Standing
Before we can issue a “letter of good standing” from Monsignor McNamee’s office, we ask that you be registered and active members with the parish for at least 3 months. An active member:
■ attends Mass on a regular basis,
■ supports the parish through the giving of time, talent, and treasure (use of offertory envelopes or online giving),
■ and receives regular mailings and communications from the parish.
If CTK is your home parish, and you’re registered
Complete this form to request a letter of good standing
If CTK is your home parish, but you’re not registered yet
Register with the parish (this form can also be requested from the front office)
If CTK is not your home parish
Please request the letter from your current parish and ask that it be sent to the parish where the sacrament of Baptism or Confirmation will be celebrated.
