Baptism Request Form

- The maximum number of form submissions has been reached. This form is currently not available.
  
  Dear parents,
  
  The following are the guidelines and request form for obtaining the Sacrament of Baptism for infants (newborns - age 6) at St. Peter's.
  
  We ask that you read it carefully and provide us with all the information necessary as you prepare for the baptism of your child. All information needed is in conformity with the Guidelines for Infant Baptism in the Diocese of Fort Worth.
  
  Baptism is no mere social convention, but the Sacrament in which Christ Himself purifies, justifies, and sanctifies (cf. 1 Peter 1:23) your child for eternal life. We rejoice with you in the birth of your child and look forward to welcoming him or her into the family of God and the communion of the Holy Catholic Church.
  
  Please contact our Parish Office (940) 668-7609 or email Cameron Moore at [email protected] if you have any questions.
  
  Guidelines for Baptism of Infants
  
  Both the parents and sponsor(s) must attend a Baptism Preparation Class, either at St. Peter’s or another parish (if you have taken a baptism class within
  the past three years, you do not need to take another class).
  
  We require that you turn in a copy of your child's birth certificate, either via email or as a hardcopy.
  
  If you are not a parishioner of St. Peter’s we need a letter from your parish pastor granting permission for your child to be baptized at St. Peter’s.
  
  If you live within the boundaries of another Parish we need a letter from the pastor of the parish within which you live for your child to be baptized at St. Peter’s.
  
  If your sponsor(s) does not live within the boundaries of St. Peter's we will need Letter(s) of Verification of Full Communion with the Church from the parish of the sponsor(s).
  
  The sponsor(s) must complete the sponsor request form.
  
  For a person to stand as a sponsor, the following requirements must be met:
  
  Be designated by the candidate, parents, guardians, or pastor.
  
  Have the intention of performing the role of sponsor.
  
  Be at least 16 years old.
  
  Be a fully initiated Catholic (received Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation).
  
  Lead a life in harmony with the Faith and role of a sponsor (i.e. be a registered member of a parish, attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days and faithful to the laws of the Church regarding marriage).
  
  Not bound by any canonical penalty.
  
  Not the father or mother of the candidate.
  
  At least one of the persons you choose must fulfil these requirements. If you wish to honor a non-Catholic member of your family, they may stand as a Christian Witness to your child’s Baptism, provided they have already been baptized.
