BAPTISM GUIDELINES

 

The baptism should be celebrated in the home parish. Those wishing to celebrate the baptism of their child in the Chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel must meet the following requirements:

  • Requests for baptism should be made in writing to the Director of Edmundite Campus Ministry. Please include the desired date and time of baptism as well as the requested priest.
  • The family should have good pastoral reasons for having the baptism of their child at the College Chapel rather than in their home parish.
  • There should be a formal relationship between the family and the College. At least one party must be either a current student, recent alumnus, or a member of the staff or faculty of the College. Children of faculty and staff are eligible if Saint Michael's College Chapel is presently their ordinary place of worship.
  • Those requesting to celebrate the baptism of their child at the College Chapel should be practicing their faith.
  • The family must also present a written note from their pastor granting permission for the baptism to be held in the Chapel of Saint Michael the Archangel.
  • It is customary to make a donation to Edmundite Campus Ministry to assist us in our ministry. Your generosity is very much appreciated. A stipend for the priest is not necessary.


    For further information regarding baptisms, please contact Edmundite Campus Ministry at 802-654-2333.
