Infants to Children age 6 years

We welcome all parents baptizing their children at St. Philip.

Please note that parents must be registered members of St. Philip for six months prior to baptism. Parents must also be actively attending Sunday Mass.

Please call the parish office at 281-324-1478 to begin scheduling the baptism.
 

Children 7 years and older

This Baptism preparation must be coordinated with our office and religious education. The child must attend catechetical classes to prepare for baptism.
 

Requirements for Baptismal Preparation:

• St Philip baptism registration form (you will receive this via mail after you call the office).

• Child's birth certificate (a reproduction is needed prior to the baptism date)

• Catechetical class for parents (class is held at a local parish and must be attended by parents - Godparents are strongly urged to take the class as well).

• Godparents must be Catholics in good standing (Confirmed and able to receive the sacraments). Godparents are 1 male and 1 female. It is permissible to have one Catholic Godparent and one Christian Witness (a loved one not Catholic but attending a mainline Christian denomination).

• Baptisms are normally scheduled on Sunday mornings in between the two Sunday Masses or Saturday morning after the 8:30 am Mass.
