Membership

Membership with a parish is vital to the faith formation of the child(ren). You should belong to a parish, usually one near your home or one where you feel comfortable to go for worship. We are happy to baptize children at St. Boniface from any area, as many return home for this special day to celebrate with friends and family. By Canon Law, every faithful member of the Church belongs by geography to a local church by default regardless of actual membership.
Are you members of St. Boniface Parish by membership or geographical location?*

Yes, and we are registered.No, but we will join/register now.No, but are interested in joining.Yes, we live in the area, but are not formally registered.
If you are not a member of Saint Boniface Parish by registration/membership or geography (Fox and Horton Townships are our geographical territory) we generally require permission from your proper pastor (the one in whose territory you physically reside).
Godparent(s)

Please be sure to read the information above regarding the role of Godparents. This is very important. The church will determine if you have selected valid Godparents. Do not presume those you have chosen are valid until validated by the parish office. Only one Godparent is needed and they must be a confirmed Catholic in good standing.
