If you need a baptismal 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 is 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 online. 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)
• your father's first and last name; your mothers first name, maiden name and last name
• 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.

You can request a certificate online by using the form below. These requests are responded to during weekday office hours.
