Information about Godparents

The role of the godparent is to assist parents in raising the child in the practice of the faith, primarily by offering a witness to their own Christian faith. Because of the nature of the role of the godparent, at least one must be a baptised and confirmed Catholic. Other baptised Christians may be added to this number and be registered as a witness to the Baptism. Unfortunately, unbaptised people and people from non-Christian faiths cannot fulfil the role of godparent or Christian witness. While the number of godparents is a matter for the parents of the child being baptised, parish records can generally only show 3 or 4 names. Additional names, providing the same information, can be included in the notes section below.
Godparent # 1
Must be a baptised and confirmed Catholic or a baptised Christian. Non-baptised persons cannot fulfil this role.
Godparent #2
Must be a baptised and confirmed Catholic or a baptised Christian. Non-baptised persons cannot fulfil this role.

Where and When Would You Like the Baptism?

Please note that it cannot be guaranteed that your preferred location is available for the celebration of Baptism. Your request will be discussed with you prior to final arrangements being made.
Please include any proposed dates here, though they should be considered tentative until confirmed by the Parish. Any questions you may have should be included above.

The Catholic Parishes of Dungog & Gresford acknowledge the Woromi and Wonnarua peoples on whose traditional lands we live and work, and their continuing deep and abiding relationship to the land. We acknowledge their cultural heritage and beliefs, pay our respects to their Elders - past, present, and emerging - and commit ourselves to working together for reconciliation and justice.

The Catholic Parishes of Dungog & Gresford acknowledge the lifelong trauma of abuse victims and survivors and their families; the failure of the Catholic Church to protect, believe and respond justly to children and adults at risk; and the consequent breaches of community trust. We commit ourselves to ensuring that our Parishes, and its activities, are safe for children and vulnerable people.
