Dear AskACatholic,

It has recently come to light that the Godfather whom I chose for my six-year-old daughter is a less than honorable person who has committed a crime against a child in my family.

  • My question is are there any extenuating circumstances that would allow me to get his name expunge from the Church records and reappoint a new Godfather?

Sincerely . . .

a concerned Catholic,

Michelle McIntire
