Baptism is a Sacrament of initiation. Once received, you officially enter into the body of Christ, the Catholic Church. To quote the Catechism, “Through baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as [children] of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and made sharers in her mission.” (CCC 1213)

At St Peter parish, Baptisms take place typically on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.

To register for a Baptism, complete the online form below or download the form, complete it and submit to the Parish Office.

Godparent Requirements:

As parents are prayerfully considering the best godparent(s) for their child, those chosen must meet all of the requirements below.

Each child can have a godfather and a godmother, but only one godparent is necessary. If there will be two, there must be one male and one female.

Godparents must:

2. Be a fully initiated Catholic (must have received all three Sacraments of Initiation, i.e., Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation).
3. Be a practicing Catholic and a Catholic in good standing who leads a life of faith necessary to fulfill the responsibility of being a godparent. A certificate from the godparent's parish must be obtained.
4. Not be the mother or father of the child.
5. If married, the godparent must be in a valid marriage, according to the laws and regulations of the Catholic Church.
