sfcastro Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 One of the guys I have known in Brazil for a long time asked me to be the Padrinho (Godfather) for his new born child. For a number of reasons, I plan on declining. I have been told that the obligations of a godparent are different in the Brazilian culture but I do not know what the differences are. Anyone know what the expected obligations of a godparent are in Brazil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what the expected obligations of a godparent are in Brazil? One of my good friends in Rio just told me (English translation): "Yes. It is a lot of responsibility. It is as if you are the father .Plenty of expenses. Helps with some college expenses and other things that can help." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
