Baptism

To Schedule a Baptism Please Call the Office at 337-783-2968

All Baptisms will be held on the First Saturday of each month, following the 4:00 p.m. Mass in Lyons Point. Father Doss will meet with parents on the Friday before. Once all paper work is completed and turned in, Fr. will call to set up meeting. A copy of the child's birth certificate as well as a Letter in Good Standing for each Godparent and a copy of their updated baptsimal certificate is required. This Letter in Good Standing must be completed by the pastor of the Catholic Church that the Godparent attends. The church seal MUST be attached to the letter to be accepted. A date for the baptism will not be scheduled until all completed paperwork and classes are completed. For your convenience, "the Baptism request packet" as well as the "Letter in Good Standing" is attached below. Godparents are also required to watch the video below "The Role of a Godparent"

The Sacrament of Baptism

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.
