For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
To register your child for Baptism, please print and fill out the document linked below. This document includes the forms, guidelines, and required documents for obtaining the Sacrament of Baptism for Infants (newborns—age 6) at St. Mary’s Catholic Church or the Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The baptism will be scheduled once baptism classes (if needed) have been completed and all paperwork has been approved. Baptism preparation classes may be taken before your child is born. Parents, chosen Godparents, and Christian Witnesses are all invited to attend the class(es).
When the documents have been completed, please deliver or mail them to:
St. Mary's Parish Office
307 W Main St
Fredericksburg, TX 78624
OR email to [email protected].
The Sacrament of Baptism will be celebrated on the third weekend of each month.
