Baptism Preparation Class
Baptism is the first sacrament celebrated in the process of becoming a full member of the Catholic Church. This class is for all parents and godparents desirous to baptize a child under seven years old. At least one parent must be Catholic.

Requirements for Godparents (same as Confirmation sponsors):

• They have received all three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion
• They are practicing Catholics, attending Mass on Sundays, Holy Days of Obligation, and receiving Communion and making Confession at least once a year
• They live their Christian vocation as a single person or as a person validly married in the Church?*
• They live out their baptismal commitment to Christ and His Church by their response to all people
• They believe all that the Catholic Church teaches and believes
• They aren't a parent of the child to be baptized
• They are at least sixteen years old
• They promise to give their support to the person they sponsor by prayers and Christian examples in daily life

*Those married by the Justice of the Peace, those living together without the benefit of marriage and those who have been divorced and remarried without a Declaration of Nullity from the Diocesan Tribunal from a previous marriage(s) are not eligible to fulfill the role of sponsor for Baptism and Confirmation in the Catholic Church.

Remember, to schedule your child’s baptism, you’ll need:

  1. To attend this class.
  2. To fill out the registration form. If you are not a registered parishioner and would like the baptism celebrated here, we need a letter of consent from your pastor stating that you’re allowed to baptize here.
  3. Have the Godparent(s) sign this Oath. Godparents who live far away may attend the Baptism class at their parish and share a completion certificate with you - send that certificate to sacraments@stpius.org.
  4. Once these steps are complete, then email Ryan Pollock (rpollock@stpius.org) to ask about available dates.

God bless you, and we look forward to meeting you soon!
