Once you have your baby baptized, if the Godparents you pick turn out to be uncaring, unfit, can you go to the church and have it changed? thanks. If not, i guess we could just have a surrogate set, but I don't want her to grow up and ask who her Godparents are and say we don't talk to them anymore...

Yes, you can. My in-laws did this. Just contact the church where your baby was baptized.

No. It can not be un or re done. It is already documented within the society of the church, and the mark of baptism has already been placed upon the soul forever. It can not be erased nor removed. Just be honest. While she is young, just tell her you will talk about it someday when she is old enough to understand. When she is old enough to understand, and should want to know. Explain the truth of why you didn't talk to them anymore. Maybe by then, things would have worked itself out. In the mean time, I wouldn't talk about anything that would draw her attention to this area of topic. Blessings, ~~Mafi
ps: if this answer doesn't ease your heart, i suggest some prayers to Our Holy Family for the answer and guidance.

In the catholic faith, you cannot change your godparents in which babtized your children. Once you child is old enough to recieve first communion you are able to choose who can be your child's sponsor, kinda of like another god parent. Then when your child does his confirmation you can use the same sponsors or choose another. It keeps going through the sacraments. But it doesn't matter who the god parents are, just keep your faith in god and take care of your children, and he will take care of them.

I changed my daughter's. Now she has an official set, whom we never speak to, and an unofficial set, whom we are very close with. What does a piece of paper mean, anyway? It's the way people treat each other that counts. Always has been, always will be.

Once you have asked someone it is hard to change especially if it is documented by the church. You can't change those. You could just name new ones since you don't talk to them anymore.

You can, but you first have to kill the original Godparents. Perhaps you could hire someone to do the job for you. Once they're...gone, then you can elect some new ones. Good luck!

No you can't, but you can have them find a different adult to mentor or sponsor them through later Sacrements.
