Thank you for your interest in your child receiving the Sacrament of Baptism! The Church teaches us that "Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated in the Church and made sharers in her mission." (Catechism of teh Catholic Church, 123)

Through Baptism, we fulfill the Great Commission given to us by Jesus at the end of Matthew's Gospel: "God and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe atll that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." (Mt. 28:19-20)
Requirements
Parent Requirements
Must be a registered member of the Parish for at least six months.

Baptisms are conferred on first and third Sunday of the month following the 11:30am Mass.

All paperwork must be completed before a Baptism will be scheduled. This consists of the Baptismal Registration Form and Baptismal Sponsor Form, both of which can be found below.
In addition to the above, a copy of the child's birth certificate must be submitted to the parish office.
St. Anastasia uses the birth certificate to verify the following information:

The church writes the information in our official Baptismal record and child's Baptism certificate exactly as it is written on the child's birth certificate.
