3 Baptisms POLICY: Baptisms will take place every Sunday at 1:00 PM in Our Lady of Peace Church. And one Saturday a month, 12:30pm at Notre Dame de Lourdes Church. Parents will need to attend one pre-jordan class before their child s Baptism. Both Godparents must be 16 years of age and will need a letter of good standing from his/ her current Parish. Anyone requesting a baptism must be registered for at least 3 months and actively attending Church each week. Note: A baptized person who belongs to a non-catholic Church may be admitted as a Christian witness to Baptism together with a Catholic sponsor. The choice of a god-parent/sponsor should be made primarily on a spiritual basis. Christian Witness status does not apply to Catholics who have left the Church. A Certificate of Eligibility is required from the parish of those requesting to become godparents or sponsors, and proof of Baptism is required for Christian witnesses. CERTIFICATES: Copies of any sacraments received at OLP or Notre Dame Church can be requested on our website: or by calling the parish office. All certificates are $10 if being picked up and $11 to be mailed. Baptism Schedule & Eligibility Saturday, September 16, 2017, 12:30pm- Saturday, October 14, 2017, 12:30pm- 1 st Sunday of every Month - Fr. Dominic 2 nd Sunday of every Month - Deacon John Ellis 3 rd Sunday of every Month - Deacon Jim Basilio 4 th Sunday of every Month - Deacon Mike McAndrews ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATES (Sponsors for Baptism & Confirmation) If you are asked to be a sponsor for Baptism or Confirmation and require a letter, you may call the parish office to request a letter. POLICY: You must be an active member of the parish for at least 3 months before requesting a letter. Marriages Anyone who wishes to be married at Our Lady of Peace Parish, is asked to contact at least six months before the desired date to schedule an appointment about their upcoming wedding. Couples must attend a marriage prep program called Pre-Cana. This program includes a discussion of the mission and purpose of marriage preparation, an introduction to the sacrament of marriage, guest speakers and recommendations for resources to use with engaged couples. The Catholic Church law ordinarily requires baptized Roman Catholics to marry before a priest or deacon. Unless they requested and received a dispensation from canonical form, Catholics who exchange marriage vows in the presence of only ministers from other religious traditions or authorized civic officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Later, those couples may seek to have their union officially recognized by the Church. In technical Church terms, this is known as convalidation of a marriage. If you are in this situation and want to find out more about the convalidation process we kindly ask you to approach one of the parish Deacons or.
