Parishioners who want to have their child celebrate the sacrament of baptism
at St. Mary’s Cathedral should remember that:
- They must be a registered, active, and contributing parishioners for at least three months at the Cathedral prior to the request (if you are not a registered member there is a 3-month waiting period);
- The Godparents must be practicing Catholics who are confirmed and no younger than 16 years of age (one person may be a baptized Christian in another Christian denomination, but then is only a witness to the baptism);
- They must take part in our Baptismal Preparation evening.
- Dates for baptisms are not available by request but follow the schedule of St. Mary’s Cathedral.
If you are planning a baptism you must first call the office and fill out the appropriate forms.
Depending upon the circumstances you may need to speak with the parish Rector.
