Baptismal Requirements

English baptisms are celebrated once a month at 9:00 am. The next available baptismal and corresponding pre-baptismal class dates are below.  The child must be registered at least two weeks prior to the selected baptismal date.  Please bring the following to the Parish Office:

  1. Child’s birth certificate or hospital verification letter showing parents’ names 
  2. An official picture identification from either parent
  3. A minimum donation of $80.00

A child may have up to two godparents. If the Godparents are a couple, they must have been married through the church.  If they are single, they must be practicing Catholics who have received the sacraments of initiation. Parents and Godparents must attend the mandatory pre-baptismal class on the date and time specified.  If you do not attend the class, you will not be on the baptismal eligibility list.

Pre-Baptismal Classes

Due to the COVID-19 situation, we are limiting in person gatherings. You will be emailed a video link as a substitute to the in person class. We ask that you please take the time to watch this video as well as share it with the Godparents.
