godchildren
Spiritual mentees collectively
Godchildren are those for whom one has assumed spiritual responsibility through a religious ceremony, typically baptism.
A godparent traditionally pledges to help guide the child's moral and religious development.
The relationship often extends beyond religious duties to include general mentorship and affection: She treated her godchildren like her own kids.
