    • Welcome!

      Congratulations! If you are visiting this page, it is either because you are expecting a child and wish to baptize them in the Catholic Church or you have been asked to be a Godparent and are looking for information to help you prepare. Please read the information below to assess the staff member that can best help you and your needs.

    • Formation for Infant Baptism

      What is formation?
      Formation is the preparation process parents attend prior to scheduling the baptism. Formation happens at home through three free videos and their study guide. These videos go over the theology of the sacrament and give parents an opportunity to dive deeper into what they ask of the Church and the baptismal promises they make. In addition to the at-home formation, parents attend two zoom meetings to go over the material, answer any questions that may have come up during the at-home formation process, and help build community among parishioners who attend the digital gatherings.

      Who needs to attend the preparation process?
      Parents who have never gone through the preparation process for the Sacrament of Baptism for an infant (children who are 0-6 years of age) are asked to go through the process before scheduling the sacrament. To register for the preparation process, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.

      Parents who have gone through the preparation process for the Sacrament of Baptism, please check the section titled "Scheduling."

      Godparents are not required to attend the preparation process. However, if they wish to participate, they can by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.

      Who can serve as a Godparent?
      Godparents must meet certain requirements in order to fulfill this role. These requirements are:

      • an individual who has been baptized Catholic, has been confirmed, and has received the Eucharist
      • is at least sixteen years of age
      • is living a sacramental life (attends Mass regularly, goes to confession regularly)
      • if married, must be married in the Catholic Church (not be in an irregular marriage or co-habitating)
      • is leading a life of faith in harmony with the ministry they are undertaking, and have the intention of undertaking the ministry of a Godparent
       

      When are the zoom meetings?
      The zoom gatherings are from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, CST. 
      October Series: Tuesday, October 3 & October 10. Registration deadline: September 8.
      December Series: Tuesday, December 5 & December 12. Registration deadline: November 10.

    • Scheduling the Baptism

      What do I need to provide to schedule the baptism?
      There are four documents needed for parents to schedule the baptism:
      1) Parent Registration form- this form is completed by the parent (enclosed below)
      2) Godparent Registration form- this form is completed by the Godparent(s) (enclosed below)
      3) Formation Verification Letter
      3) Copy of child's birth certificate

      Who do I send these forms to?
      Forms are sent to Matt Thai. 

      Who can schedule a baptism at St. Edward?
      Parishioners- we would only require the four documents mentioned above.

      Non-parishioners- we would require the four documents mentioned above. Additionally, we will also need a letter from their pastor at their home parish granting permission for the sacrament to be celebrated at St. Edward.

      All Godparents who are not parishioners of St. Edward will need to provide a letter from their pastor at their home parish stating they are members of the parish.
