Parents, please fill out the online Baptism Registration form. The Godparent Letter of Good Standing must be printed, filled out and signed by the Godparent. The letter must then be signed by their pastor with the parish seal. Please return the finished letter to the church office. Thank you.
Requirements for a Godparent:
As a godparent, your role is to encourage the faith of your godchild, be an example, and to reflect with your godchild as they grow in the meaning of a life of Catholic discipleship.
The Code of Canon Law (Canon 874) specifies the requirements for serving as a godparent at a Baptism: You may not be the parent of the person being baptized; you must be at least 16 years old; you must be fully initiated (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) in the Catholic Church; if married, be in a valid Catholic marriage; and live a life of active faith in the Catholic Church.

baptism: children 7 & up
If you have a child age 7 or older in need of Baptism, you and your child will need to attend special classes. If your child has not attended any previous Faith Formation/Religious Education classes in the past, they will need to be a part of our program for one year (per diocesean guidelines) before receiving any sacraments. Children this age will receive their baptism at the Easter Vigil Ceremony.
Please fill out the registration form on this page to have someone contact you with information. You will need a birth certificate for your child and your child will need to be enrolled in our Faith Formation Program starting in the fall. If you have any questions, please contact Bob Moore, DRE.
Please note: Godparent guidelines are under the Godparent Letter of Good Standing button (on this page). Godparents will need to attend a class and have the Letter of Good Standing form completed and turned in as well.
