What if I am not a member of this parish?
If you are not a member of the parish, you need a letter from the pastor of the church at which you are registered for permission to baptize your child in our parish. If you are not registered at any parish, you should register at the church where you attend Mass most frequently.

There is no fee for the preparation. For the Baptism however, it is customary to give a donation to the priest administering the Baptism.

Two Godparents, 17 years and older are required - one must be male and the other female. At least one of the two must have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation and be a practicing Catholic. A parent cannot serve as a Godparent.

A proxy may stand in place of one Godparent.
