Request for Sacrament of Baptism

- Liturgy

Congratulations! Your St. Edward parish family welcomes this opportunity to assist you in scheduling Baptism for your child/ren.

We celebrate Baptism with joy—in this foundational sacrament, we put on Christ and are claimed as his own. For this reason, we desire that parents have the opportunity to grow in their knowledge and appreciation of the Sacrament their child will soon receive. If you have not taken part in a Baptism preparation session through Waterloo Catholic Faith Formation, please do so before filling out this form. More information on these session dates and registration can be found at the Waterloo Catholic Faith Formation Website: https://waterloocatholics.org/baptizing-infants-and-children

When choosing Godparents, please be mindful that there must be one man and one woman. Each Godparent must be a confirmed, practicing Catholic who is willing to witness to the faith for your child.

Baptisms at St. Edward are ordinarily celebrated within Mass on the second and fourth weekends of the month and following Mass on the first and third weekends. However, in this time of COVID-19, baptisms will only be celebrated after Mass. You can request a date on the form that follows. Thank you!
