Baptisms can either be celebrated during or after a Sunday Mass.  Only practicing Catholics can be a godparent, and there must be at least one Catholic godparent; a non-Catholic Christian can be a "Christian witness." Parents and godparents must attend a baptismal preparation program in order to understand the gravity of the commitment they make by having a child baptized, or becoming a sponsor. This can be done well in advance.

To set up a baptism, please contact:

• For infant baptism:  For St. Boniface: Contact Fr. Dan Hunt, (937) 773-1656 or (937) 773-1327.  For St. Mary: Contact Fr. Dan Hunt, (937) 773-1656 or (937) 773-1327.
• For child ages 2-18:  Fr. Dan Hunt, (937) 773-1656 or (937) 773-1327.
• To celebrate the baptism in another Catholic parish, permission of the pastor must be sought.  Please call the Parish Office or [email protected].
