Godparents
Godparents are sponsors who speak on behalf of the child during the baptism. As well having a role to play during the baptism, godparents are also expected to fulfil certain obligations in relation to the child after the baptism ceremony. The obligations that are expected of godparents are best discussed with the parents of the baptised child, but it has traditionally been the role of the godparent to look after the spiritual upbringing of the child.
