The minimum expectation for those who seek baptism for their child is active participation in our parish by attending Sunday Mass consistently and sacrificial tithing.
Current parishioner registration and a Discipleship Renewal form must be on record with Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church prior to baptism.
Parents who seek baptism for their child must schedule a one-on-one meeting with Fr. Carter.
Godparent Requirements:
- There must be at least one Catholic godparent.
- If two godparents are chosen, they must be one man and one woman.
- Catholic godparents must be 16 years of age, have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Communion, and Confirmation and consistently attend Mass on Sunday.
