Baptism is the first step in the life of faith, the gateway to the other sacraments, and the sacred moment in which we receive God’s grace to become part of the family of the Church. Through this sacrament, our parish community opens its arms to welcome your child and to accompany the parents and godparents in the beautiful commitment of guiding them in love and the Christian faith.

Requirements for Baptism

General Documentation

• Original birth certificate of the child.
• Mandatory attendance at pre-baptismal sessions for parents and godparents.
• Donation: $50.00 for a baptism.

Requirements for Godparents

To take on this significant role in a young person’s Christian life, godparents must meet the following criteria, depending on their marital status:

• Single Godparents:
  • They must be over 16 years of age.
  • To have completed all the sacraments of initiation: Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation.
• Married Godparents:
  • They must be married and recognized by the Catholic Church.
  • Submit the Church Marriage Certificate.
  • Submit the Confirmation Certificate for both godparents.

⚠️ Important note regarding godparents: A person who is married only civilly, or who is living in a common-law union, CANNOT serve as a godparent.
