If you need a baptism certificate...

You may be getting married at a church, or just want or need a copy of your baptism certificate for some other reason.  A baptism certificate can be obtained only from the church at which you were baptized, or, if for some exceptional reason you were not baptized in a church, the church where the baptism was recorded.  It the only official record that you have been baptized and are thereby considered a member of the Catholic Christian community.

If you are sure you were baptized at St. Bernard’s, you may request a copy of your baptism certificate in person at the parish office, by phone or by e-mail.  We can normally locate your baptism record and provide a certificate within 48 hours of your inquiry.  We will need the following information, so please include this information when you contact us:

-   your full name at the time of your baptism
-   your date of birth
-   your approximate date of baptism (month and year, if possible; or at least the year)
-   the address to which you want the certificate mailed – you may also arrange to pick it up in person.

Call or come to the parish office during office hours.
