How do I arrange for my child's Baptism?  
Baptisms are celebrated on an as needed arrangement.  Parents and Godparents are required to attend a pre-baptism class. Our parish offers classes throughout the year, but a baptism class taken at any Catholic parish will satisfy this requirement.  At least one confirmed, practicing Catholic must act as a sponsor (Godparent).  A second Godparent who is also a confirmed, practicing Catholic or a practicing baptized Christian Witness is permitted  though not necessary.  Godparents who are not parishioners of Saint  Patrick's must provide a sponsor certificate from their parish. For more information about baptisms, please call Anne Causgrove at (814) 490-1498.

What do I need to do to get a sponsor certificate for Baptism or Confirmation?  
Sponsor certificates for Baptism or Confirmation can be issued only to  registered members of Saint Patrick's who have received Confirmation, attend Mass and receive Communion regularly.  If married, the marriage  must be in conformity with the regulations of the Catholic Church. To obtain a sponsor certificate call Parish Office.
