Baptism Registration Form

NOTE: Church Law requires that a candidate for Baptism - or any adult being received in the Church - should be sponsored by a baptized and confirmed member of Catholic Church who is willing and able to help the child develop and grow in the Catholic faith. There must be at least one sponsor or godparent. In the case where there are two sponsors, one must be male and the other female. The maximum number of sponsors is two. A baptized Christian non-Catholic may not be a sponsor, but may act as a witness. Non-baptized persons may not officially act as a sponsor or a witness to a Baptism of a child in the Catholic faith.
