Sacramental Preparation
Baptism and Godparent Requirements
 Parents of children who are six years of age or younger and who are in need of baptism must be registered, active parishioners of St. Peter Church.
Godparents take on serious obligations when they sponsor a person for baptism and they should be virtuous and faithful Catholics. Godparents must be fully initiated, practicing Catholics; if married, godparents must be married in the Church. Baptisms may be scheduled only after the parents and godparents have completed the requisite classes and after the parish office receives copies of the godparents' sacramental certificates for matrimony (if the godparents are married to each other) and a letter from the parish at which the godparents belong stating that the godparents are in good standing with the Catholic Church and are eligible to be sponsors.
Parents and sponsors must attend two baptismal classes before the baptism. Please call the pastor to schedule the classes. Baptisms in English are usually offered every fourth Saturday of the month.
