INSTRUCTIONS
Print the Baptism Checklist for your records and as an aid to ensure you complete all requirements. You do not need to submit this with your packet.
Review the Guidelines for the Sacrament of Baptism. The information in the guidelines will help you in the preparation of the Baptism packet.
Submit a Notification of Intent to Baptize. Although not a part of the Baptism packet it will notify the parish of your intent to Baptize your child. Upon receipt you will be scheduled to meet with the pastor to discuss your Baptism needs, review your choice of Godparents, and discuss whether the Baptism will take place in the Shrine or during Mass. After that meeting you will begin to create your Baptism packet.
Each Godparent must complete a Godparent Verification Form. This form should be saved to the Godparents computer and a copy e-mailed to the parents for inclusion in their packet.

Note: It is important that you review all these forms and familiarize yourself with the requirements. It is the parents responsibility to ensure that all forms are complete and other requirements are met in order to complete your Baptism packet and select your Baptism date.
