Good Evening All, I’ve never seen a priest named as padrino before, but could it be because I’m new to this? Have others come across this?

A priest wouldn’t be expected to personally raise a female child if something were to happen to the parents. Culturally, the padrino’s obligation isn’t limited to spriruality alone, is it? It’s not just idle curiousity, as the entry I refer to is that of my maternal grandmother, Agustina Santelices, who along with her younger sister, Maria Dolores, were later orphaned. I’d appreciate opinions/experience on this subject from all. Thank you for your help. Alice B Blake
