Infant Baptism Registration

Baptism is a great joy for our entire community!  We are so grateful your faith and desire to have your child baptized.  Here you will find details for the baptismal preparation process, which we hope you will find smooth as well as enriching for your parenthood and your own faith.

Infant baptisms take place at Saint Vincent de Paul on Sundays after the 11:00 AM Mass. 

Baptismal Preparation

• Please complete the registration form on this webpage.

• Parents should be registered parishioners at Saint Vincent de Paul Parish.  If you are not registered, please come to the parish office during open hours to register.  (If you parish elsewhere but would like to have your child baptized here, please contact the parish office).  

• For those who are having their first child baptized at Saint Vincent's, preparation also includes a meeting with our baptismal preparation coordinator, who will contact you to schedule after you register your child for Baptism.

• Parents must attend 2 Baptismal Preparation Classes.  *Classes are valid for three years and must be repeated as necessary.

Upcoming Classes 

You may attend Session II before Session I if necessary.  It is recommended that both parents attend before the birth of your child so that there will be no delay in setting a date for the baptism once the baby is born.
