PLEASE NOTE: Under normal circumstances, by policy of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, parents requesting baptism of a child must be identifiable active members of a Catholic worship community, have attended a pre-baptism instruction session, be actively participating at Sunday and Holy Day Masses, and be regularly contributing to the support of their church. If your circumstances are not normal in any of these ways or other ways, please speak with the St. Albert Chaplain personally.

Under normal circumstances, parents should be married in the Catholic Church. If parents are not married, or their marriage is not "blessed" in the Catholic Church, please speak with the St. Albert Chaplain.

If parents requesting baptism of a child are NOT married, either a state-issued "Certificate of Live Birth" or a "Declaration of Paternity" signed by the father of the child, will be necessary before the father's name can be recorded in the Baptism record or appear on a Certificate of Baptism issued by St. Albert Chapel
