Today, the Church still recognizes the connection between faith and baptism. When a child under the age of 7 is baptized, the parents’ faith speaks for the child, who is too young to have explicit faith on his or her own. Before a child under the age of 7 is baptized, the Church requires a reasonable hope that the parents will raise the child in the Catholic faith and requires the parents and godparents to attend a Baptism Preparation Class.

SCHEDULING A BAPTISM AT ALL SAINTS

Baptism for Infants and children under the age of 7 is offered most Sundays at 12:30 PM. Baptism must be scheduled at least two months in advance of the desired baptism date.

The following must be submitted by parents when scheduling baptism:

• The Parent Baptismal Registration Form / Family Information
• A copy of the child’s birth certificate
• Baptism Preparation Class Certificate
• Certificate of Good Standing
• Consent from the home parish

The following must be submitted by godparents when scheduling baptism:

• The Godparent Baptismal Registration Form / Family Information
• Baptism Preparation Class Certificate (class request form here)
• Certificate of Good Standing

BAPTISM PREPARATION CLASS

Both parents and godparents must attend a Baptism Preparation Class. A Baptism Preparation Class Certificate must be submitted when scheduling the baptism.
