Baptism:

Congratulations!  We are happy with you at the birth of your child.  We congratulate you, and welcome your new baby.  A new life born into the human family and into our world should always be a joyful and happy event, an event that changes people’s lives, and changes them for the better.  A new life gives promise, hope, and expectation that the world will become a better place to live in because of this new life.  We share these hopes with you, but we want to do more.  We want to do everything possible to make them come true.  [Click here for guidelines]

Godparents:

The role of the sponsor (or godparent) is functional, not ceremonial. A sponsor or godparent makes a life-long commitment to assist in the formation of the new Christian for whom they have accepted a shared responsibility. This is done by word and example.

Marriage:

The Catholic Church expresses the hope that married couples, by being faithful to their nuptial covenant, may day by day come to lead holier and fuller lives in their families.  In doing so, they will also be recognizing and freely accepting their vocations to follow Christ and to serve the kingdom of God in the married state.
