- All parents with a desire to raise their child in the Catholic faith are welcome to bring their child for a Christian baptism.
- Parents are invited to register as parishioners at Pax Christi, but it is not a requirement.
- A baptism preparation class is offered for all parents and godparents.
- There are no fees, financial requirements, or other subjective requirements to have your child baptized.
To be admitted to the role of godparent, a person must:
- Be at least sixteen years old and not the father or mother of the infant being baptized
- Be a fully initiated Catholic who leads a life of faith in keeping with the role they are taking on
- Not bound by any canonical penalty legitimately imposed or declared
- A provided godparent form is required to be filled out by the godparent and signed by the priest of the parish where the godparent is a registered and active member
- Complete a Baptism Preparation Class (if it has been more than two years since last completing a class)
Baptism Preparation Classes for parents and/or godparents are offered once each month. Please contact Roberto Chavez to register at least 72 hours in advance.
Canon Law requires that children ages seven and older be fully initiated into the Roman Catholic Church, preparing for and celebrating the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at the same time through the process known as the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults for Children or Teens (OCIC or OCIT).
