April 7, 201610 yr 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?

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."
