The Sacrament of Baptism for Children.

Thank you for your inquiry about Baptism at Saint Saint Patrick's Church ! Below are some guidelines to help plan for this important and memorable day in the life of your child and family.

·     It is assumed that if you are requesting Baptism for your child, you are a practicing Catholic (or intend to be) and wish to raise your child in the Catholic Church. It is also our expectation that you will participate in their religious education through FAITH FORMATION.

·     Baptisms take place following the 10:30 a.m. Mass on most Sundays or by special arrangement.

·     You will need to meet with the Deacon prior to Baptism. If this is not your first child and you attended with prior children, this is not required.

·     You must be a registered and active parishioner in order to schedule a Baptism. If you are new to the parish, please fill out a Parish Registration form on our website or by requesting one through the Church Office.   

·     Please fill out the Baptism Registration completely and return it to the office.

·     At least one of the Godparents must be a Confirmed, practicing Catholic. Attached is a form that they should fill out.   As long as there is one Confirmed, practicing Catholic chosen as a Godparent, you may choose the second Godparent as a Christian Witness from another Christian denomination. 

·     We welcome and encourage you to invite family and friends to the Baptism.

·     Other families may be baptizing their child on the same date and time.

Thank you and God bless you for taking this important step in the faith of your child!
