Baptisms Guidelines
Congratulations on your beautiful baby! We are excited to be a part of your child’s baptism.
Because this is a special day in your child’s life and yours we have some guidelines that are required by the Catholic church. These requirements are necessary to ensure your child has a wonderful baptism and a lifelong journey as a new member of the Catholic faith.
Thank you for your patience and commitment to your Catholic faith.
These guidelines are for children 0 - 5 years in age. Over 5 years, they must go through Religious Education. There is no cost/fee for baptisms at St. Augustine. Currently, we are not conducting private baptisms.
Baptism Schedule 2023:
English Group Baptism is held every second Sunday of the month at 2:00 p.m. Spanish Group Baptism is held every third Sunday of the month at 2:00 p.m. Dates and Times are subject to change for both.
