Frequently Asked Questions

Who can have their child(ren) baptized at Sacred Heart?

Parents who are registered parishioners of Sacred Heart may have their child's Baptism here at Sacred Heart. If the parents are not registered parishioners, Sacred Heart requires a letter of approval from their home parish to have baptism here.

There must be at least one godparent (male or female) for each child. If there are two, then one must be of the opposite sex. If you are having two children in the same family being baptized, you are allowed to have the same person be godparent to both.

Please review the requirements for godparents. All others are considered Christian witnesses.

What else is required?

1. The original birth certificate (no copies are allowed) must be shown to parish office before baptism.
2. Parents will have had to attend a baptism preparation class. If they have already attended one at another parish, Sacred Heart requires a verification letter from that parish. If another child of the family was baptized at Sacred Heart in the last three years prior to the current baptism request, parents do not need to attend a preparation class.
3. If attending a class at Sacred Heart, parents must purchase two booklets ($10, cash donation) prior to class. Booklets can be purchased and picked up at the parish office.
4. Complete the baptism information form (link) which is submitted to the parish office. Information from this form will be used for the baptism certificate.
