At least one parent must be a practicing Catholic, who is committed to raising the child in the Catholic faith. A parent that is not Catholic has to express a willingness to help and create a home where a child will receive an environment to grow in faith as taught by the Catholic Church.
Attendance at a pre-baptism class is required before the child is baptized if it is your first child. St. Thomas does not require you to attend a class for every child unless there are circumstances that may warrant another class.
The family asking for their child to be baptized at St. Thomas the Apostle should be a registered member of our faith community. If you are not registered, registration forms are available at the Parish Office or on the church website.
We invite you to contact the Parish Office, even before your child is born and to plan in advance.
