How Do I?

Schedule a Baptism

Schedule a Baptism

Baptisms are celebrated on most Sundays of the month at 1:30pm (except during Lent). Baptismal preparation classes are held the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00pm online. Both parents and Godparents are expected to attend prior to scheduling a Baptism. Godparents may attend a class in their own parish if needed. Registration for a Baptism Preparation Class is made through the parish office.

The Catholic Church requires two (2) Sponsors for Baptism; one male and one female. At least one (1) of these must be a Catholic who has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation and be at least 16 years of age. If they are married, they must have been married in a Catholic Ceremony recognized by the Catholic Church. If you choose one sponsor who is not a Catholic, that person must be a Christian who has received the Sacrament of Baptism. They will be listed as a Christian Witness. Catholics cannot be a Christian Witness.

Parents must be registered parishioners of our parish and Godparents are required to obtain a Sponsor Letter from their Church indicating they are participating Catholics. Christian Witnesses are asked to receive a letter from their Church stating they have satisfied all requirements and are members in good standing.

No date will be reserved until the parish office has received proof of attendance in a Baptism Prep Class as well as the Sponsor Certificates for Godparents.
