How To Obtain Sacramental Records

For all such records it is helpful to tell the Secretary the date, as close as you know it, to the sacrament in question. The records can be picked up at the Parish Office (156 Hancock Avenue) or mailed to you home or to the Parish or priest for whom you are requesting the records.

Sacramental records cannot be transmitted via e-mail. If a copy is sent by FAX and original must follow it by mail.

BAPTISM / BAUTISMO

The Parish of St. Paul of the Cross Church baptizes children who are registered parishioners. If you are not a registered parishioner and would like your child baptized at our parish you would need to register the family.

As part of the preparation for a child's entry into the Church through the Sacrament of Baptism, The Parish Preparation Program, is held Friday evenings (Friday before the second Sunday), at 7:00PM in the Lower Rectory.

We ask that both Parents and Godparents attend one pre-Baptismal session. This session presents an adult understanding of the Sacrament of Baptism and the responsibilities of Christian parenthood.

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of each Month. Arrangements should be made at least two months prior to th Baptism, to allow for the Parish Preparation Program.

If you would like to register your child for baptism, or register the family as new parishioners, please contact the parish secretary: 201.798.7900.
