Baptism Form
We generally celebrate baptisms at St. Patrick on the first and third Sundays of the month after the Noon Mass.
Baptism class is hosted on the second Monday of the month at 7 PM.
If you have any questions in regards to having your child baptized, contact the parish office, 402-332-4444.
Godparents must meet all of the following requirements:
- Must be 16 years or older in age and must have received already all three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist.
- They must be actively practicing their Catholic Faith: attending Mass on Sundays and holy days, living exemplary Christian moral life, mature enough to accept publicly the teaching of the magisterium of the Church, and, if married, must be married in the Catholic Church. If divorced, they cannot have remarried outside of the Catholic Church. If not married, must not be “living together” with someone. In other words, they must be someone who will be a model for your child in living our Catholic Faith. Also, cannot be a parent of the child to be baptized.
- One Catholic godparent is sufficient, but, if there are two, there must be one of each gender. i.e., cannot have two Godfathers or Godmothers.
- A baptized non-Catholic may be chosen along with a Catholic godparent to serve as a “Christian witness” of the fact of baptism.
