Registration of Baptism
After the ceremony, the parish priest records the baptism in the Baptismal Register of the parish. This record includes the full names of the child, parents and godparents, the child’s date of birth, the date of the baptism and the name of the officiating priest or deacon.
A Certificate of Baptism can then be issued by the parish as and when required.
Normally, there are two godparents for a Baptism, however it is permissible to have only one. In the case of two godparents, they should be male and female and both baptised and confirmed Catholics.
