Please contact Leah Ackley at the Parish Office for further questions regarding financial assistance. An additional donation outside of the fee(s) is called an offering given to the church and/or presiding clergy on the occasion of a sacrament--and it is ALWAYS at the discretion of the family. Donations should be labeled as such and provided in separate envelopes from the fee.

GODPARENT REQUIREMENTS - read thoroughly
Parents, you will likely have lots of friends and family who will serve as fantastic moral supports for your child. This is a blessed thing indeed! For the Sacrament of Baptism, the Church asks for a very specific kind of support from a Godparent. The person attests to their own Catholic faith and promises to support parents as they raise their child in that same faith. This role needs folks who live and know their Catholic faith vibrantly. Pay special attention to the following requirements when choosing a Catholic Godparent for your child(ren) as indicated by Church Canon Laws 873 and 874:
- There may only be one male, one female, or one of each. Two Godparents or a Godparent/Christian Witness of the same sex are not permitted.
- He/She must be at least 16 years of age
- He/She must have been fully initiated in the Catholic Church having received the sacraments of Baptism, Holy First Communion, and Confirmation
- He/She must be “practicing” the Catholic faith – living a life consistent with the faith and morals taught by the Roman Catholic Church; participating in the Sacraments.
- He/She must not the father or mother of the child to be baptize
- Participating and baptized Christians of other denominations may serve as a “Christian Witness” but only alongside a Catholic Godparent that meets the guidelines above. If two Catholic Godparents are indicated, then a Christian Witness is not permitted.
