Is this your first child baptized at St. Margaret Mary?
If so, you are required to attend an orientation session prior to the baptism, offered on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM; registration is required. Both parents are strongly encouraged to attend the class, whether or not both are Catholic. Godparents should feel free to attend, and your newborn is welcome. Baptism class registration needs to be completed one week prior to the class.
Requirements for Baptismal Sponsors/Godparents God Parent Permission Form
Each baptismal candidate should have one Catholic man and one Catholic woman as godparents. Only one godparent is necessary. If you choose to have two, then they must be one male and one female.
The Godparents must be 16 years of age. The Godparent must also be a Catholic who has been baptized, confirmed, and regularly celebrates and receives the Eucharist on Sundays, adheres to the faith of the Church, and if married, be married in the Catholic Church.
A baptized person who belongs to a non-Catholic ecclesial community may only be a Christian Witness to baptism- together with a Catholic sponsor. A signed form for each Godparent must be turned no later than one week prior to the scheduled baptism.
If godparents are not able to be physically present at the baptism, a proxy will be needed to stand in their place. A form is required for the proxy so please notify the Parish Office early in the process should a proxy be needed.
Upcoming Baptism and Class Dates- please note: The Preparation Class is held in the lower level of the church in the Drummy Conference Room
