Keeping Godparents up to date

On the day of Baptism, your child’s godparents promised to assist you in your duty as Christian parents.  They are to serve as trusty witnesses to the faith and as a spiritual example, but unless they have frequent contact with your child, it’s up to you to help foster that relationship.

From time to time, consider giving them a little update on your child’s spiritual progress by sending them a Family Formation project that was completed with special care.  This month’s Glory Be “Attitude” Booklet can be just such a project.  Each activity page gives your child a chance to draw or write a way they can live out a Beatitude.  Just as it gives you insight into your child’s faith life, it can keep godparents updated as well.  At the very least, it’ll serve as a (re) invitation for them to get involved.  At best, it can serve as a discussion point or the start of a correspondence on spiritual matters.  And all for the cost of a manila envelope and a little bit of postage!
