Baptism at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Community
The Sacrament of Baptism is a time to initiate new Christians into the Catholic faith – and St. Anthony of Padua welcomes all requests to celebrate this special occasion.

- At least one of the child’s parents of the child must be a registered parishioner of St. Anthony and practicing Catholic.
- At least one of the child’s Godparents must be an active, practicing Catholic.
- Parents are required to attend one Baptism preparation course, which is on a Sunday at 10:15 am. This class is offered four times a year at the church. The Baptism Class Schedule is below. This course will help the parents prepare for their child’s initiation into the Catholic Church.
