- Couples seeking a baptism for their child must have been married in the Catholic Church or have received the proper dispensations. Married couples who have not received the Sacrament of Marriage in the Church, single parents or unmarried couples are welcome to have their child baptized in the Faith, but are asked to schedule an appointment to meet with the Rector prior to scheduling the baptism.
- Parents must select one practicing Roman Catholic godparent who is in good standing with the church. You can have two godparents. Please keep in mind that one must be a man and one must be a women and they must be a member in good standing. Godparent (s) needs to be baptized, received the Sacrament of First Communion and have been confirmed and a practicing Catholic, at least 16 years of age with a (letter of permission needed for each godparent) from their home parish. If married the marriage took place with a Catholic priest. If one sponsor is not a practicing Catholic then the practicing sponsor becomes the godparent and the other sponsor will be classified as a Christian witness.
- Godparent (s) must be living an exemplary life consistent with Faith and morals as taught by the Roman Catholic Church.
- St. Catherine parishioners, please sign the sponsor affidavit and turn it in to the front office. If the godparent (s) is/are not a member of our parish please have them download the form and submit it to their home parish for the Rector's signature. That form then needs to be submitted to our office at least two (2) weeks prior to the baptism.
*All information needs to be returned to the office two weeks prior to the Baptism date or you may have to select another date.
