Please note that the Sponsor completes the top portion of the Godparent/Sponsor Form (See green at right). The Pastor at Sponsor/Godparent's church completes the bottom part known as the Letter from the Pastor (See blue at right) and affixes the parish seal before it is returned to our parish office. It is the same on both the English and Spanish forms.
