Parents and godparents must be registered members of a catholic parish for at least three months.
At least one of the parents must fill an application in the parish office. They have to bring a copy of the child's birth certificate. No one giving the class will officially be able to register the parents or godparents.
All monetary baptismal fees will be handled only in the office by our secretaries, such as: $25/ first child, $40/ for two children, $60/ for three children or more of the same family.
Godparents must be adults (18 years and over). They must have received the sacrament of Confirmation and give a good example of Christian living. They must be Catholic. If the godparents are already living as a couple, they must be married in the Catholic Church (though not necessarily with each other). They could also be single, one or both of them. NOTE: Parish Office will not accept incomplete registrations. To process your application, you must complete the above four points. MEMBERS OF OTHER PARISHES
If the parents or godparents belong to another parish, they have to bring a certificate from their parish, giving them permission to be baptized here.
If the parents or godparents are here to take the class only, and baptism is to take place somewhere else, they will need a document as proof of good standing from us, which will usually mean that they are registered members within our church, this document can only be given out by the secretary in our office.
Other information:
Baptisms are celebrated on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, at 12:30 pm in the church. We ask you to please be on time. Baptismal dates and hours can be changed with exceptions due to religious days, national holidays or parish functions. PRE-BAPTISMAL CLASSES
Pre-baptismal classes are held in the basement of the Rectory. Parents and godparents are required to attend only one talk. The class will be given only twice a month: on the first and third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm. After the class, the parents and godparents will be given an attendance card, which will be good for one year.
