Baptism in Emly

Sponsors (Godparents) must be:
[a] Over 16 years of age;
[b] Confirmed;
[c] Practising Catholics, who can give their godchild
the necessary good example of faithful Christian
living and worship.
Note: There is a special ceremony for a child who is adopted, and for one who was baptized in an emergency. Both ceremonies welcome the child into the Church community.
Pope Francis, in Croke Park last August, urged parents to have their children baptized in the first month or two after birth, and not to postpone it.
