Baptism of Children

Baptism is the sacrament of welcoming a child into the life of the church. We are grateful that you have chosen to raise your child Catholic.

Requirements

We baptize children up to 6 years of age. A birth certificate is required.
Each child needs a godparent. As a parent, you have the responsibility of choosing a person who will care for the faith of this child as a godparent.
A godparent must have completed the Sacrament of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and First Communion). They must be practicing Catholics, which means they go to church.
Parents and godparent(s) must attend Baptism class for each child. We offer Baptism classes twice a month. Each class lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes. Before signing up for Baptism class, please complete the form below or call the Parish Office at 773-235-3646.
There is a donation fee of $100 per child for the baptism.
There is a $30 fee for the Baptism class.
