Having your Child Baptized

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A BAPTISM? (FOR A CHILD)

Things you need to know before you schedule a Baptism:

• Baptisms are offered on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays of every month St Mary of the Mount Chruch and upon request at St. Adalbert Church. Baptisms may also be scheduled at other times based on availability of clergy. 
• One of the two Godparents must be a practicing Catholic (someone who can obtain a sponsor letter from their parish which states they are a practicing Catholic). 
• The parents of the child being Baptized need to attend baptism class. To register for the class, or with questions, please contact Donna Gillespie at 412-481-8380 or [email protected].  If you have taken the class within three years, this does not apply.

To schedule a Baptism, call the parish at 412-481-8380 and provide the following information:

1. The Baptism date  (we only baptize five children a Sunday, plan early)
2. Name of the Child 
3. Child’s Date and Place of Birth
4. Father’s Name
5. Mother’s Maiden Name
6. Godparent One
7. Godparent Two

The Catholic Godparents will need to provide Sponsor letters to our parish two weeks prior to the Baptism. The letters may be sent to or dropped off at the parish offices.
