Older Children
Children who are older than seven years old that would like to be Baptized are enrolled in our RCIA for children class. Please call the parish office for more information.
Godparents
The Church has some basic criteria for helping us to choose godparents. It is necessary to have one godparent, but two is customary and usual. If there is one godparent, they may be male or female. If there are two, one must be male and one female. At least one godparent must be a fully initiated, practicing Catholic, sixteen years of age or older. Fully initiated means that they must be baptized Catholic, have received Eucharist and Confirmation. The other may be a Christian of another denomination, and would be recorded as a Christian witness. The godparents may not be the biological parents of the child. If the godparents can not be present for the baptism then a proxy, or stand-in, may be used.
