How do I arrange for a baptism? 

Infant Baptism

  • In order to have a child baptized at St. Patrick Parish,  parents are required to attend a baptism preparation class.
  • Advance registration is required. Parents must complete a Sacrament Registration Form and provide a copy of the child's Birth Certificate to the parish office manager in order to register their child for Baptism.

 

Baptism of Older Children

  • Children must be baptized prior to receiving the sacraments of 1st Penance and 1st Eucharist.
  • If you have a child who is 7 years old or older and has not yet been baptized, you should contact the parish office at (520) 432-5753.

 

I'm an adult. How can I be baptized in the church?

The Catholic Church traditionally recognizes baptisms performed by other Christian denominations. Adults who have not been baptized and who wish to receive the sacrament of baptism at St. Patrick Parish should contact the church office at (520) 432-5753 for information about our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process.
