Rite of Baptism During COVID-19 Pandemic
Baptism Times: Sunday: 1:30pm & 2:30pm

Congratulations on the birth of your child and on your child's upcoming Baptism. Baptisms are scheduled almost every Sunday beginning at 1:30pm following the 12:00 noon Mass.

Parents:
If this is your first child being baptized, please plan on attending a Baptism Preparation Class in your parish or one near you. The godparent(s) may also be benefit attending as their role is vital to the child’s Catholic development. A baptism date will be scheduled upon receipt of the completed Sacristy Record and the godparent eligibility letter(s). We can discuss availability of dates once these items are received. 
 
Godparents:
To be permitted to take on the function of a godparent, a person must:

• have completed the sixteenth year of age;
• be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has already received the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist and who leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on;
• if married, must be validly  married in the Catholic Church;
• not be the father or mother of the one to be baptized;
• a baptized person who belongs to a non-Catholic ecclesial community is not to participate except together with a Catholic sponsor and then only as a witness of the baptism (Christian Witness).

Godparent sponsor eligibility letter(s) are required from the person(s) you have selected. The eligibility letter is generated from the church in which the godparent attends. This letter must be an original letter stamped with the church’s raised seal.
