The Sacrament Preparation Program for Infant Baptism
This consists of an evening preparation session from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, in the Church (Parish Hall B). THIS IS A REQUIRED CLASS!!
The session will focus on the Rite of Baptism, the Role of the Godparents, and the Practical Details for the celebration. Parents and Godparents are asked to attend this session before the child receives the Sacrament of Baptism.
We ask that parents leave their children home and make arrangements for a baby-sitter.

Godparent
Parents are asked to designate Godparents for their child. The 1993 Code of Canon Law provides directives for the role of the
Godparent. The responsibility of the Godparents is to
help the child lead a Christian life in harmony with Baptism, and to fulfill faithfully the obligations connected with it. It is important that the Godparents lead a life in harmony with the faith and the role to be undertaken.
Parents are asked to designate at least one male or one female Godparent or one of each sex. Godparents must have completed the sixteenth year. At least one of the Godparents must be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has
already received the Eucharist. A baptized person who belongs to a Non-Catholic ecclesial community may not be admitted except as a witness to Baptism and together with a Catholic Godparent. The father or the mother of the one to
be baptized may not be the Godparent.
