At least one of the parents should be a practicing Catholic and have the intention of raising the child to be a Catholic. It is customary to have two Godparents, at least one of whom should be a practicing Catholic.

If this is your first child, we hold one 30 minute session at the Cathedral Rectory office a few weeks prior to the baptism. If you are from out-of-state, a certificate is required stating that you attended a session in your home parish.

| Additional Information: |
Baptisms require approximately 20 minutes. Photography is permitted throughout the ceremony. Family photos may be taken in front of the altar following the ceremony. We attempt to limit the number of babies to four each week. There is no fee specified. It is customary to make an offering to the church for the use of the facility.
