Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage
There are many reasons to need a copy of sacramental certificates. The most common certificate required is that of one's Baptism. In the Roman Catholic Church, all sacramental records for a person's life are recorded at one's church of Baptism. Most often, you may need a recent (issued within the past six months) copy of your Baptism Certificate. This is needed if you are preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage, if your child is entering a Catholic School, entering a CCD program at a Church, or if you have moved from one Catholic Church to another.
We are happy to provide you with your (or your child's) certificate, but please have the following information ready:
1. Complete name of the person who was baptized.
2. Complete names of biological mother and father.
3. Complete names of Christian Sponsors/witness (the godparents).
4. Date of Birth (at least the year) and date of Baptism (at least the year).
There is a $5 fee for each certificate issued, payable to St. Joseph Church. All fees must be paid before issuing a certificate.
Sacramental records are not public records, so certificates are only issued to the person whose name is on them, to immediate family members (i.e. parents, children, etc), or other Catholic Churches.
*St. Joseph Church in Iota maintains all Sacramental records for St. Michael Mission in Egan.
