Father, I would like to have my baby baptized, what should I do?

Picture
Thank you for your interest in baptizing your child in our parish, we welcome you and your family with open arms!

A couple of things to know:
  • You must be a parish member of the church in order to have your child baptized in our parish. Please check with the parish staff to make sure you are registered. If, you are not registered but would like to be you may come to the office and fill out a registration form or you may download one, fill it out and email it back to us. 


  • We have baptisms during the 10am Mass on the third Sunday of every month. 


  • If you have not had a child baptized in our church in the last 5 years, you and your Godparents will be required to attend a short bautismal prep class.  These classes are also held on the third Sunday of each month, after the 10am mass. You are expected to attend mass and the short class after.


  • We ask for a $50 donation for each baptism. Godparents must be Catholic and one male and one female. They must be 16 years of age of older and have received the sacrament of Confirmation.  If they are married, they must be married in the Catholic Church. 


  • Godparents must request a letter of Eligibility from the parish where they attend and or at registered, (not a baptismal certificate). 



  • To make arrangements please call Deacon Dave at 856-5980 or Deacon Jerry at 856-931-9518.
