Mother and Child Baptism	Ali	Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Question: Wanting to know if I can have the same Godparent as my daughter. Currently attending RCIA and planning an Easter baptism with my then to be 5 month old daughter. I was reading that some people choose their sponsor from RCIA. I wasn't sure also if someone is already a Godparent can they be for others? thanks
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Ali: As far as I know both you and your daughter can have the same Godparent. There doesn't appear to be any impediment to this in Canon Law nor in the General Introduction to Christian Initiation that I can find. You need to check with your pastor. God Bless, Bro.
