Thank you for this opportunity to serve you and your family.

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Registration: All parents seeking to baptize at St. Helen Catholic Church are asked to come in to the Faith Formation Office and register their child for baptism. We look forward to meeting you face to face and walking you through the process.

Classes: All parents and Godparents are asked to attend a Baptism Class where they learn more about the sacrament and their role. Parents and Godparents will be asked to provide proof of attendance. St. Helen's Baptism Class is the first monday of every month from 6:30-8:30 pm in room 103/104 of St. Rita's Activity Center (click for map of our campus). You do not need to register to attend the class, however you must register your child for baptism in person.

Baptisms: The sacrament will be celebrated after our Saturday and Sunday masses on the 3rd Sunday of every month. For more information or to confirm the date of our next baptism class, please call the Faith Formation Office

Godparents: Please ensure that the Godparents meet Canon Law requirements. Canon Law states that the Godparent(s) must be:

• Catholic
• 16 years or older
• Practicing their faith on a regular basis (every Sunday)
• Be living a Christian moral life style
• Must have sacrament of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation
• (A Baptism Godparent Covenant form will be required at registration.)
• If married, they must be married in a Catholic Church

For more information please call 512.863.0799.

We only have registration and paperwork in person.
Community is a crucial component of a joyful Catholic church and meeting you and your family face to face is very important to us. We've found that meeting face to face and explaining everything in person actually saves time to everyone.

Come to meet us! Give us a chance and we'll prove it!
