In addition to the information form, we need the following turned in to the Parish Center office no later than one month prior to the tentative baptism date. Once you do this, your date will be finalized!

We will need:
 

• Most importantly, we will need your child's birth certificate. (From the county government. Hospital records are accepted upon review.) Please no copies! We will need the birth certificate no later than one month before the baptism date, or we will not be able to hold your date.
• You will need to select one or two godparents. Please click here to read our guide to selecting a godparent. We will need a "Sponsor Covenant Form" from each godparent. Godparents can access this form through our For the Godparents page.              Guide to Godparents For the Godparents
• A certificate of completion from a Baptism Class for each parent and godparent (either from Sacred Heart or another parish). Baptism name and date must be printed clearly on the certificate. Baptism classes are held at Sacred Heart every first Thursday of the month from 7:30-9pm. (During Covid-19, you may attend online instead, via the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Please click here.)
• If you belong to another parish (as a registered member), we will also need a letter of permission from that parish to baptize your child at Sacred Heart.

We look forward to seeing you at the Parish Center soon!
