LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: To be a godparent for Baptism or a Confirmation sponsor the Church requires that a letter of recommendation is obtained. This letter can be issued only to members of our parish who are Baptized and Confirmed, registered in the parish for at least three months, and regularly attend Mass and receive the sacraments. Regular use of envelopes (even if empty) indicates attendance at Mass. Married persons must have been married in conformity with the laws of the Church. Out-of-town college students should receive a letter from their campus minister and those serving in the military should receive a letter from their Chaplain.
