The Sacrament of Baptism on Saturdays. All requirements must be met prior to the baptism.
Parents are required to have attended a Baptismal Preparation Seminar to be able to baptize their child at St. Pius. St. Pius provides this class every other month beginning in January. A prior class and/or one taken through another Catholic church is acceptable. Parents are encouraged to attend during pregnancy. The church bulletin announces upcoming classes.
If the parents are not married, and the father’s name is to appear in the church records, a state-issued birth certificate must be presented. If the birth certificate has not yet been issued, arrangements must be made for both parents to sign an Acknowledgement of Paternity, at the Parish Office, where it will be notarized. These arrangements will be made when you are contacted by the parish staff, after filling out the online Registration form. If these requirements are not met, only the mother’s name will appear on the baptism record.
