How to Choose God Parents that will actually make a difference in your child's faith - 09/01/2026

Author: Iowa Catholic Radio September 1, 2026 Duration: 12:48
Deacon Mark Campbell and Bo Bonner take on one of the most common questions in baptism preparation: who can be a godparent, and how should parents choose? Deacon Mark explains what canon law actually requires, why "practicing Catholic" doesn't mean "perfect Catholic," and debunks the persistent myth that godparents are legal guardians. The two also offer honest counsel for parents navigating family expectations and for godchildren whose godparents have fallen away from the faith.
