As a Catholic Christian Community we bring forth these guidelines regarding the Sacrament of infant Baptism. Since this is a sacrament
of initiation (introduction) to the Catholic Community the following must take place:
*The parents must be registered at Our Lady of Fatima, and be consistently seen attending Mass in this church.
*If this is the first child, parent (s) must attend a Baptismal Preparation class.
*Godparents must be Baptized, Confirmed, and practicing Catholics. One Godparent can be of a Protestant denomination. If for good reason Godparents are from out of town, or another Catholic church in town, a letter from their pastor is required to state they are practicing members in
good standing.
*A visitation with the priest is necessary before scheduling a date for the Baptism of the child.
*Those not registered in our parish must have written permission from their pastor to have their child Baptized in our church.
These guidelines are given in order to insure continued growth and participation in the Catholic faith and the Church community.
