PARENTS AND SINGLE PARENT REQUIREMENTS
During this time of pandemic, the baptism class for parents and godparents is temporarily waived. I deemed it important to baptize our infants without unnecessary delay. However, it is still required that the parents or guardians of the child choose godparents who have received all the sacraments of initiation namely baptism, confirmation, and eucharist. Moreover, the godparents must be married in the church if they are living with someone. Thank you, Fr. James F. Oropel
NOTE: Children seven (7) years and over will need to enroll in the R.C.I.C. program to receive catechesis before baptism.
GODPARENTS REQUIREMENTS Godparents serve as the child’s sponsors. The Code of Canon Law number 874.2 sets down the requirements for the sponsor.
Sponsors:
A person may not act as a godparent without these requirements.
Boundaries: Godparents, not in our boundaries, can attend the pre-baptismal class in their own parish and must submit a certificate of completion by the date requested.
NOTE: Non-Catholic Sponsor. A parent can select as one of the sponsors a baptized non-Catholic to serve with a Catholic sponsor. However, this person does not receive the designation of “Godparent” but that of a “Christian Witness”.
∗There is a $40 non-refundable fee per child.
