The Godparent(s) must be at least sixteen years of age (16); one of them must be a fully initiated Catholic, who has been confirmed and has already received the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist, and who leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on. They are not to be mother or father of the one to be baptized. One sponsor, male or female, is sufficient; there may be two, one of each sex. (Code of Canon Law: 872, 873, 874)
