Baptismal Information

Baptisms are performed during Mass

Prior to arranging a baptism for your child, you must attend a Pre-Baptismal class. These classes are conducted by a member of our Baptismal Team. If possible, both parents and Godparents should attend.

· A Baptismal Register form is filled out at the conclusion of the training. This provides information about the child being baptized.

· If Godparents are not members of St. Clare parish, they must present a Sponsor's Certificate signed by the pastor of the church they normally attend. This must be presented on the day of baptism of the child, or sent to the rectory in advance.

· Parents who are not registered parishioners, will be asked to fill out a Parish Census form as well as a baptismal register form.

· Parents who are parishioners of other parishes, must obtain permission from the pastor of their local parish church in order to baptize their child at St. Clare. Please contact Fr. Ralph in advance.

· Please call the Rectory concerning any questions at (203) 467-5136, and we will be happy to assist you.
