Attention parents: We ask that you contact the Parish Office to arrange to have your baby or young child baptized. Please plan to attend a pre-Baptism gathering for an update on Catholic teaching including Baptism. It is not necessary to wait until your baby is born to attend our Baptism gathering. In fact, most parents tell us it is more convenient to attend during the pregnancy. Godparents are also invited to this meeting.

• Baptisms (English) are the 3rd Saturday of the month at 10:00am
  Please note: we do not baptize during Lent; from Ash Wednesday until after Easter.
• Baptism classes are on the same day as Baptism, at 9:00am in the church
  one class is required unless parents have attended a class within the last 3 years

Requirements to be a godparent/sponsor:

• Prospective godparent must be a Catholic who has received all 3 sacraments of initiation including Confirmation.
• Must be at least 16 years old
• If married, must be married in the Catholic Church
• Must participate regularly in the Sunday Liturgy
• Must be able to obtain a certificate of eligibility from their local parish
• If a parishioner at St. Anthony of Padua, must be active for at least the last 3 months.
