When:

           Baptisms normally follow the Sunday Noon Mass at 1:15 p.m., but other times can
be arranged. One of the priests or deacons of the parish usually officiates at Baptisms, but if your family has a priest or deacon who is special to you, feel free to invite him and we will be happy to accommodate.

            Godparents:

          According to Church Law, each child should have a male and female godparent or sponsor.

         At least one godparent must be a baptized and confirmed member of the Catholic Church and at least 16 years of age. If two Catholics are not able to serve as godparents, a baptized Christian at least 16 years of age may act as sponsor.

        Parents may not be godparents for their own child’s Baptism.

            Offerings:

        No specific offering is expected for a Baptism. If parents wish to make an offering to the Church or the priest or deacon, it will be gratefully accepted.
