Baptism is the Gateway to all other sacraments. You must be baptized in order to receive First Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Matrimony and Holy Orders. It is required for parents and godparents to have instruction in the sacrament of Baptism. Instruction is offered once a month virtually using Zoom. If you have attended Baptismal instruction within the prior three years you do not have to attend again.
Godparents play an important role in the spiritual life of the child. They should have the time, willingness and faith to live out this sacred vocation. They should be someone special to the child who will set an example of Christian living, help teach the Catholic faith, and instill a lifelong relationship of prayer, faith sharing, and love. Specific requirements for godparents:
There may be one or two godparents. Only one godparent is required. If a person is not Catholic but is a baptized Christian of another denomination, he or she may still participate in the Baptismal rite. The person would be referred to as a “Christian Witness” on the Baptismal record instead of godparent. The expectation is that a Christian Witness will be a Christian role model for the child.
Baptisms are currently limited to four families at a time. Please select from the available dates, enter in the form below, and submit the form. Someone from the parish office will contact you.
