The family unit includes godchildren, godparents, and many other members of the extended family. |
After the baptismal ceremony, the parents, godparents, child, and guests returned to a family home for a celebratory meal. |
Among other responsibilities, they are expected to be godparents to the couple's children. |
We invite family, godparents and mentors to join in the laying on of hands on confirmation Sunday. |
This sponsorship creates a relationship not only between the child and the godparents but also between the child's parents and the godparents. |
This is a lifelong relationship, and many godparents have managed to reconnect with their godson or goddaughter. |
