Baptism Eligibility Policy
Anyone wishing to have their child baptized at Holy Cross Parish must be registered as a member of the parish, and in good standing for at least three months. To be in good standing, registered members must show continual meaningful contact with the Parish as evidenced by the use of contribution envelopes documenting the attendance at Mass several times each month.
Family members and guests of Holy Cross parishioners are always welcome to celebrate baptisms here at Holy Cross and may do so with a brief letter of permission from their home parish pastor. To register to become a member of Holy Cross Parish click here. To register for an upcoming baptism class please click here.

Preparation for Baptism
Prior to the baptism, first time parents must also register for and complete the Baptism Preparation Class which is held on the third Tuesday of every month at the Blessed Sacrament Parish Center at 7:00 p.m.
Register here!
If you have already been to the Baptism Preparation Class you do not need to attend again.

Scheduling a Baptism
Please fill out the Baptism registration form to schedule a baptism once all the requirements have been met.
Baptisms for adults joining the Catholic Church typically occur at the Easter Vigil. If you are an adult desiring to be baptized or have a child over the age of seven to be baptized, contact the Holy Cross Parish Office.
