Guidelines: |
Parents
must be active Catholics and registered in the Parish for a minimum of four
months before the Baptism date. |
|
Parents
must attend the pre-baptismal class that is given on the second Tuesday of
each month. |
|
You may
have one or two godparents. At least one of the Godparents must be a
practicing Catholic, baptized and confirmed. |
|
The
Godparents must participate in the pre-baptismal class or should have a
letter from their parish, stating that they have attended the pre-baptismal
class and that they are practicing Catholics, if they do not belong to our
parish. |
|
In order
to baptize a baby whose parents belong to another parish, we need written
permission from their parish priest. |
|
We need a
copy of the birth certificate of the child, or an official certificate from
the hospital where the child was born. (This facilitates the making of
the Baptismal Certificate.) |
|
The
suggested donation to Saint Gall is $25, paid prior to the baptism. No
one will be denied the Sacrament because of financial difficulties. |
