What would you say/do if the parent of your Godchild decides to leave the church? They live very far away. Their mind is made up.
 
I talked to the mother. Her mind was made up. A whole lotta crap had gone down in her life and she was very angry with God.
So, I pray for the family. It’s all I can do.
 
Simply pray for them.

I pray for a young woman that came into our lives, joined the church, then never again wants to darken the door.

All I can do is pray for her and her daughter.
 
Don’t forget the child. Even if parents are angry with God the kid doesn’t have to pay for this. I don’t know in RC but in the east the faith of the child is the godparent’s duty and something to answer for when judged by Christ.
 
Just pray for the mother and her daughter. It might be all you can do.
 
Me too. I just pray and try to maintain contact as best as I can
 
Send birthday, Christmas, and possibly Easter gifts. The child will remember you as a loving Christian and it will keep the door open in her mind.
 
Are you stating that people who have left the Church are defacto Satanists?
 
assuming they trust you to be somewhat of a real godparent…
“Bring the kid into town for a few days, I’ll watch him and you can pick him up after church on Sunday.”

The timing might be bad but you get the idea; I would only do that if you are sure that won’t make them angrier.
 
You can pray for them. You can try to keep in touch with your godchild. Depending on their age maybe you can send them books on the Faith if you don’t think it would be taken badly by them or their parents. You can’t convert their parents, bit you can still pray, keep in contact, and Try to be a good influence
