The Godparent should be willing to accept responsibility of assisting the parents in developing the faith life of the child. The Godparent may not be the father or the mother of the one to be baptized.
All documents must be turned in to the office as soon as possible so your child can be on the schedule for next Baptism date.
You may scan and send by email to karla@stmichaelgptx.org or drop them off during office hours once fully gathered. Do not turn in any documentation during baptismal class, presiders are not responsible for lost paperwork. Please get in touch if we can be of more help.
