Spanish preparation classes are held on the first Monday of every month.

Parents must be active Catholics and registered in the parish for a minimum of four months before the Baptism date. You may have one or two godparents. At least one of the godparents must be a practicing Catholic, baptized and confirmed.

The godparents must participate in the pre-baptismal class or should have a letter from their parish, stating that they have attended the pre-baptismal class and that they are practicing Catholics if they do not belong to our parish. In order to baptize a baby whose parents belong to another parish, we need written permission from their parish priest. We need a copy of the birth certificate of the child, or the official certificate from the hospital where the child was born. (This facilitates in creating the Baptismal Certificate.) The suggested donation to Saint Francis is $75 if Parishioner, non-parishioner $150 , paid prior to the Baptism. No one will be denied the sacrament because of financial difficulties.
