Baptism
The Catholic Church has Seven Sacraments. The first three sacraments, Baptism, Confirmation, & Holy Eucharist are Sacraments of initiation to introduce a new convert into the Catholic Church and the seven sacraments. The Sacrament of Baptism gives birth to the Christian's life of faith. The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens him. In the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the faithful receive food for eternal life.

To Qualify as a Godparent
CODE OF CANON LAW (CHURCH LAW) specifies the requirements for serving as godparents at Baptism (Canon 874): You may not be the parent of the person being baptized. Church Law requires that a candidate for Baptism-for membership in the Church community should be sponsored by a Baptized and Confirmed member of the Catholic Church who is willing and able to help the child develop and grow in the Catholic Faith. There must be at least one godparent. If godparents are married, they must be male and the other female in a valid Catholic marriage. The maximum number of sponsors is two. The minimum age for a fully initiated Catholic to be a sponsor is sixteen (16) years of age. A baptized Christian non-catholic may not be a sponsor but may act as a witness. Non-baptized persons may not officially act as a sponsor or a witness to the baptism of a child in the Catholic Faith.
