Congratulations on the addition to your family! We are so glad you are interested in Baptizing your little one!
Baptismal Preparation Class Parents and Godparents must take a Baptismal preparation class. The class here, at St. Catherine of Siena, is offered once a month on a Sunday from 12:15 - 1:15. To sign up for a class call the parish office 919-570-0070 or email Hilary at [email protected]
Choosing Godparents Your choice of a Godparent is one that brings this person (or people) into your family forever. It will be their role to aid you in the catechesis and spiritual development of your child. You want to pick someone who you know will continue to pray for your child, to talk with them on matters of faith, and encourage them to pursue the Truth.
A God Parent must:
- be Catholic
- At least 16 years old
- have received Confirmation
- IF they are married, their Marriage must be in the Catholic Church.
Baptism: Baptisms are scheduled once a month for a Saturday at 9 am. To schedule your child's Baptism, please call the office at 919-570-0070.
Baptism of Adults and Youth
Are you an adult in need of Baptism?
Are you inquiring about Baptism for your child who is above the age of 7?
The preparation process looks different in these circumstances.
For adults, please check out the RCIA page! The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process by which you will learn what the Church teaches, professes, and believes to be true. Please Contact Hilary Paolantonio for more information and join us for a Summer inquiry session!
For Children, we have adapted the RCIA program to fit the needs of our youth. Please reach out to Hilary Paolantonio to discuss the program that will be best for your child.
