- 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.
- 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.
