Baptism proxies...

Does anyone know how this works when you need to have proxies stand in during the Baptism? Do you know how it works and the "rules"? I'm still waiting to hear back from my church about it. I thought I'd ask here in the meantime. Thanks!

I didn't know they did it for a Christening.

Atleast one Confirmed Roman Catholic 18 and over atleast here in Florida and PA.

We didn't need proxys but many of our friends had too and Dh was his brother's Confirmation sponser but ended up deployed so his Grandfather was by proxy.

The secretary from the church stood in when my youngest sister was being baptized.

My brother's children had almost all proxies (don't ask). It's not a big deal to the church. I know the official godparents should be practicing, confirmed Catholics (at least one has to be).

Re: Baptism proxies...

If you don't have someone who will stand in as proxy, the church can provide them. If they have a Baptismal Committee, it is, usually, one or two of them.
