Baptism Guidelines
We welcome you as family of the St. John Bosco Catholic Church. Baptism is a Sacrament of Initiation and should be celebrated in the parish where the parents of the child worship. Only registered parishioners of St. John Bosco should be baptized at St. John Bosco.
Baptism is a communal celebration. The child is being joined to our parish community, the Body of Christ. Our community pledges to assist your child along his/her journey of Christian Faith.
Baptisms are celebrated at 12:00 a.m., in Spanish, the second and fourth Saturday of every month.
Private Baptism:
First and third Saturday of each month. Love donation ($250.00) when reserving date. Proof that parents are active parishioners at St. John Bosco. Birth certificate of the child. Sponsor certificates for godparents stating they are practicing Catholics, are at least 18 years of age, and at least one of them has been fully confirmed into the church and practice their faith. Love donation ($30.00) when reserving date. If one parent belongs to another religion or will be absent at the baptism, a notarized letter giving St. John Bosco the authority to baptize the child. Parents and Godparents must attend catechesis on the Sacrament of Baptism. Thank You. God Bless your Family.
