Congratulations!  If you are searching here, chances are you have recently been blessed with new life, or you are inquiring to find out how to become Catholic. 

If you are interested in having your child baptized you will need to register to take a Baptismal Class which is good for five years. Visit the Baptism Preparation page for more information. Baptisms are celebrated once a month.  If you are interested in having your child baptized, please contact  the parish office at (919) 570-0070 to register for class, or fill out the form below.  

The parents or legal guardians must request the sacrament for their child and there should be a well-founded hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic religion. Godparents must meet certain requirements according to canon law.  One godparent is required but there can be two; one male and one female. They must be: at least 16 years of age, have received the sacraments of Confirmation and the Eucharist, and demonstrate that they are practicing Catholics with documentation by their local Catholic Priest and if married, it took place within the Catholic Church.
