Infant Baptism Classes

“I have called you by name; you are MINE! -Isaiah 43:1

The Sacrament of Baptism is offered periodically throughout the year for infants whose parents would like to have them baptized into the Catholic faith. The sacrament of Baptism is a wonderful beginning for the spiritual life of your child. 

Baptismal Requirements and Process

• Parents of the child to be baptized must have all paperwork completed and returned to the Pastoral Office at least ONE MONTH prior to scheduling a baptism date (Attention: Kerrin Fuller).

• Parents must be registered members of St. Luke for a minimum of 4 months. Click to register as a new member of the parish.

• If parents are not registered at St. Luke, they must bring a Letter of Permission from the parish in which they are registered.

• The administration fee is $150 and must be turned in with completed paperwork. This fee includes the baptismal set (candle, shell, and outer bib). Private baptisms are available based on Father’s availability. The administration fee for a private baptism is $200.

• Parents and Godparents must attend a Pre-baptism Class. If they are not able to attend one at St. Luke, they may attend at another parish. A certificate of attendance must be submitted with paperwork. If this is not received, the baptism will be postponed.

• The parish secretary will contact the parents by phone to arrange the date of pre-baptism class and baptism.

• Only two Godparents will be recorded on the baptism certificate and in the baptism registry.

• At least one Godparent must be a fully initiated Catholic; the other must be a baptized Christian.  Both Godparents must be active, participating members of their parish community. A Baptismal Sponsor form must be submitted if they are not registered members of St. Luke.
