Baptism

Baptism is the beginning of our Christian journey. We are no longer spiritual orphans separated from God by original sin. We become adopted sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven who loves and cherishes us beyond measure. 

To have your child baptized at the parish you are registered at, we ask the following: 

Be a member of the parish. If you’re not registered with us already please fill out a New Parishioner Registration form found under Family of Parishes "Join our Church".  If you presently live out of the area but have family here and want your child baptized here, please speak to Fr. Pio or Fr. David.  At least one parent needs to be an active, practicing Catholic.

Continue to form this child in the Catholic faith, through Mass participation, Sacraments, religious education, and be an active part of the faith community.  The life of faith that begins at Baptism must be continually nurtured and shaped as your child grows. 
 

Make a careful and prayerful selection of Godparents.  Choose persons who will be a special, supportive presence in the child’s life and who can help you to nurture the child’s faith and spiritual growth. At least one Godparent must be a practicing Catholic, at least 16 years of age, who has received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. The second Godparent, if not another Catholic, must be a baptized and believing Christian. 

When:  Please contact Fr. Pio D'Oria at ext. 3 for information on a prep class and baptismal dates.  Please fill out the following questionnaire and bring it with you to the prep class - Questionnaire.
Please start the registration process by filling in the Baptism Registration Form below.  Alternatively, you can print the form and drop it off at the office.
