Baptism

- English

Babies and young children (under the age of seven) are baptized upon their parents’ request.

Baptisms are celebrated:
- at one of the parishes Masses
- outside of Mass at the convenience of families
Baptisms can be celebrated:

In English during Mass by Father Daniel, or outside of Mass by Father Bob.
In Spanish during Mass by Father Daniel, or outside of Mass by one of our deacons.
In both English and Spanish during Mass by Father Daniel, or outside of Mass by Father Bob.
The chosen minister of Baptism (deacon or priest) meets with families before the Baptism, to review the theology of the sacrament, to anticipate the ritual of the sacrament and answer any questions about godparents, etc.

To prepare for the baptism of an older child (seven or older) or an adult, the formation process of RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation of Children) or RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is followed.

SPONSORS

Help in how to choose sponsors (godparents).

There are three possibilities for sponsors (godparents) according to the Code of Canon Law:
- One set of sponsors, one male and one female
- One sponsor of either gender
- One sponsor and a non-Catholic witness who is baptized (gender is not important)
Only the names of sponsors are recorded in the baptismal registry.

Sponsors must meet the following qualifications:
- Be at least 16 years of age
- Have received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist
- Be a practicing member in good standing in their Catholic parish or church community
- Have sent an official letter from the pastor of their Catholic parish or church stating that they are a member in good standing and lead a life in harmony with the faith and role they will be undertaking
- Not be the child’s parents
If a sponsor cannot be present for baptism, the sponsor may serve through a proxy. A proxy must have the same qualifications as a sponsor. The name of a proxy is additionally put in the baptismal registry.
