Baptism for Infants and Children
 

Baptisms take place each Sunday at 1pm. We do have a one month lead time. The third Sunday of the month, we have Baptisms during the 9am Mass.

As a note, at least one Godparent must be Catholic and in good standing. They will need to fill out this form located at the bottom of this section, have it signed by their Pastor, and returned to Kaitlyn Armiger.

If this is your first child being baptized Catholic, you will need to go through a short Baptism formation meeting.

To schedule a Baptism and sacramental preparation visits to your home, please call Beth Craig at 317-842-6778, ext. 215 or email bcraig@sldmfishers.org.

Priests are ordained to be assistants to the bishops, and to offer the faithful the Gospel and the Sacraments. Deacons assist both bishops and priests; they are appointed to serve the faithful in works of mercy and to preach the Gospel (cf. Acts 6).
