Babies and small children up to 5 years old
​ If the person to be baptized is a baby or a child up through kindergarten age, the parents or legal guardians must come to the rectory to arrange for the baptism. The baby's birth certificate must also be brought.

Parents must attend a baptismal preparation class, held on the second Tuesday of each month in English, at 7:30pm in the rectory. Godparents are encouraged to attend if possible.
Remember: Godparents must be at least 16 years old, have completed both their first Communion and Confirmation and cannot be the parents of the child being baptized. At least one must be a Catholic but the other can be Christian Witness, that is, a practicing Christian of another denomination whose baptism the Catholic Church recognizes.
