What if one parent isn’t Catholic?We warmly welcome families from all backgrounds. At least one parent should be committed to raising the child in the Catholic faith.
-
How many godparents can we choose?The Church requires at least one Godparent but it is common to have two – one male and one female. Godparents must be practicing Catholics, confirmed and at least 16 years old. Additional friends or family members who are baptized Christians can act as honorary godparents or "witnesses".
-
Is there a cost for Baptism?There is no fee for receiving Baptism. It is normal for the priest to be offered a donation (“stipend”) and our Parish asks for a contribution towards expenses. However, no-one will be prevented from receiving Baptism for financial reasons.
