Baptisms are held on any Sunday of the month after the 11:30 am Mass and any weekday mass.
Baptismal preparation class is mandatory for both parents and godparents prior to baptism unless they have attended a class in the last three years. Baptismal preparation class is held on the last Saturday of each month at 9:30 am in the School of Religious Education building north of the church. Please bring a photocopy of your child’s birth certificate to class. You will be asked to complete a form for the baptismal records for the parish records. The class lasts about an hour. Baptism will be scheduled at the preparation class.
A meeting with Fr. Satish is required prior to baptism if you are an unmarried couple or not married in the Catholic church.
There can be two godparents. Both must be over the age of 16 and baptized Christian. One must be a practicing, confirmed Catholic. If this godparent is a member of another parish we must have a letter from their parish verifying they are a confirmed, practicing Catholic. If one or both godparents attended a preparation class in a different parish, we need a letter from that parish giving the date they completed the class.
Please contact Annie Nguyen 832-794-5309 (cell) to reserve your place in the baptismal preparation class or if you need more information. Please call Annie to schedule your baptism if you have attended the baptismal preparation class in the past three years.
