How to have your child baptized:
Congratulations on the birth of your child! St. Hilary Parish is pleased to welcome
any new addition(s) to our parish community.
How to have your child baptized at St. Hilary Parish. This link on the St. Hilary
website is designed to help you with the procedures for having your child baptized at St.
Hilary Parish.
Please follow the steps that are outlined below.
- Read the entire link about how to have your baby baptized
at St. Hilary Parish.
- Pull down the Pre-Registration Form, the sample of a sponsor certificate and
the guidelines for choosing a god-parent.
- When you have returned the Pre-Registration Form and we have received the Sponsor
Certificates we will call you to schedule a date for the baptism.
- Baptism Sessions are scheduled for parents who are having their first child and
then again when they have their second child. These sessions are scheduled four times
a year. The schedule for the year is given below:

print out that is provided.
- Baptisms are scheduled as follows:
First Saturday of the Month - 4:00 pm liturgy
Second Sunday of the Month - 9:00 am liturgy
Fourth Sunday of the Month - 11:00 am liturgy
First and Third Sunday of the Month - 12:30 pm outside of liturgy or after the 11:00 am
liturgy. We prefer to schedule baptisms during liturgy when the parish community is present
to welcome the child and their family into the Catholic Church.
Note: During Lent we do not baptize as a sign of our solidarity with the Catechumens who
are moving toward the Easter Vigil when they will be baptized.
