Godparents Day????

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that would be it - if there is such a day. Mother's Day & Father's Day aren't celebrated on the child's birthday, they each have a special day, so do Grandparents and Birthmothers, there's even a special day for sweethearts. You'd think there would be a special day celebrating Godparents too. Thanks anyways.

I googled, also and I couldn't find a date...

There doesn't seem to be a "Hallmark Holiday" for this day, however, many religious sites recommend having your church or temple designate a Godparent's Sunday to celebrate and pray with your god child. "Godparent / Godchild Sunday One way that your church can play a significant role in honoring and fostering this relationship is by hosting a Godparent/Godchild Sunday.

Hi everyone - cathy102 and Volfe Thanks for searching too, I tried that myself without any luck, I did find something on a church that does celebrate it, but doesn't sound like others do. Strange. It must be up to each church to choose a special day. Since there are special holidays celebrating special people, I would have thought that there would be a Godparents Day. I guess it's something us Godparents should suggest to Hallmark. Thanks anyways. :) numbr1dbcksfan - We give our Godson special cards on all the holidays he has celebrated so far in his short life of almost 8 months. His parents gave me a card & gift from him on Mother's Day, but nothing for his Godfather on Father's Day, who is my DH. [EDITED]

Now, now, let's play nice :) The forums do not discrimate on whom may answer a thread in any other forum... it is against TOS. Honestly, in looking up God Parent's Day, many gift sites cite the giving of gifts on Baptismal anniversaries. some churches have special days where god parents are honored, those days they bring the child to church sans parents. ad infinitum. to each their own.

Hi Maia - Pretty name. :) [EDITED] As I said, I do realize that each church chooses their own special day to celebrate Godparents/Godchildren, but it's not a yearly event celebrated by each church at the same time, ie: Easter, Christmas or even Mother's Day & Father's Day. And I stated as a Godchild, my family never celebrated my Baptisim as a yearly event and I have never heard of anyone doing so before. All I wanted to know was if anyone knew if there were a special holiday celebrating Godparents, since Hallmark doesn't honor it, I guess that's my answer.

numbr1dbcksfan - Since I posted my question in the Catholic Adoptive Parents forum, I figured I'd get a lot of answers from Catholic Adoptives Parents. When I post in my state's forum, I expect to get replies from others in my state or who are adopting from my state. Milestones: When I asked if you celebrated graduations, I meant every year, ie: if someone gratuated from high school on June 4th, 2003, would you then honor that by celebrating it on the same day every year? We celebrate each childhood milestone too, but not as a yearly anniversary, birthdays only and of course weddings, Mother's Day & Father's Day. It's wonderful that you are a Godmother and that you celebrate that honor with your Godchild each year on the anniversary of the Baptisim. I have never heard of anyone doing so, not even by the strict Catholics I know. You said not everyone has a Godparent, true, but, when anyone is Baptised Catholic, they do have Godparents or at least one. I'm sorry that I made the mistake of posting a question on this forum, I won't post under the Catholic Adoptives Parents again. Best wishes to all!
