Baptism
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door, which gives access to the other sacraments. (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

INFORMATION ABOUT GODPARENTS
Baptismal Godparents are: Godfather and Godmother.  You are required to have one Godparent who is a Baptized and Confirmed Catholic.  Ideally, the second godparent is also baptized and confired. However, the second Godparent may be baptized Christian.   

INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED TO OBTAIN FROM YOUR GODPARENTS:
Please obtain from the Godparents their Confirmation certificate. If not Confirmed the Godparent will need to have a Baptismal Certificate.  These certficates are to be requested from the parish that the Godparent received the Sacrament.   This information should be sent to St. Agatha Parish c/o Kathy Monahan.  Please place a note in the envelope with the Child's name and date of upcoming Baptism.
