Sacraments 

Infant Baptism
 Birth to 7 years old

To baptize at St. Elizabeth’s, the child's parents must be registered members of St. Elizabeth’s, or live within our boundaries, otherwise a letter from your home church should be presented.  

Parents are required to come into the office to schedule baptisms. 

You will need to bring in:

• the child’s birth certificate, from the county
• the godparents’ confirmation certificates
• if the godparents are married, a copy of their church marriage certificate 
• proof of baptism prep classes for parents and godparents.

Parents and Godparents must all attend baptism prep classes. Classes are held at the beginning of each month.  You must register to participate in the class! Check the bulletin for dates and times.

First Reconciliation takes place mid-year and the First Eucharist is in May.
