GUIDELINES FOR BAPTISMS
AT THE CHAPEL OF
SAINT ANNE’S SHRINE
ISLE LA MOTTE, VT 05463
Requests
to be baptized at Saint Anne’s Shrine:
The
Baptismal ceremony normally takes place in the home parish but some
Baptisms are permitted in the Shrine Chapel. Those wishing to be
baptized in the Chapel must meet the following requirements:
-
The couple / individual
should have good pastoral reasons for requesting a baptism in the
Shrine Chapel, rather than in their home parish.
-
There should be a formal
relationship between the couple / individual and the Shrine. At
least one party must be either a parishioner of St. Amadeus Church
or St. Joseph’s Mission; a student, member of the faculty or staff
of the Shrine and/or St. Michael’s College; or a benefactor of
Saint Anne’s Shrine.
-
Couples requesting their
child to be baptized at the Shrine should be practicing their
faith.
-
Parents are required to
meet with the Priest or Deacon at least once prior to the Baptism.
-
Requests for
permission to be baptized at the Shrine Chapel shall be sent in
writing to the Spiritual Director of the Shrine in ample time.
The request should indicate the pastoral reasons why the baptism
ceremony should take place at the Shrine Chapel and the
relationship of both parties to the Shrine. A letter confirming
the date and time of your baptism will be sent to you.
