Baptism

Celebrated usually on the 3rd Sunday of each month after the 6:00pm Mass.  

Those requesting Baptism (for their children) must be registered and attending the Parish for Mass at least six months prior to the request.  There is a formation meeting before a date can be scheduled for the Baptism. Parents can receive information regarding Formation meeting and classes by contacting St Patrick’s Church in Chesterton, 219-926-1282.

Please get in touch with the office 2 months in advance.  

In choosing Godparents, please remember that at least one must be a practicing Catholic (must be confirmed, married in church and eligible to receive the sacraments).  Non-Catholics of a Christian denomination may only act as sponsor and only one non-Catholic sponsor is permitted.
