Sponsors and Baptism

Baptism is one of the means of grace, an immensely important event in the life of the person being baptized, as well as sponsors and parents. While the center of the rite is God's working through water and the word, sponsors or godparents have the opportunity to take a vital role in the life of the person who is baptized. This handbook helps sponsors take a fresh look at how they can support and nurture the newly baptized, whether child or adult.
