Infant Baptism 

Infant baptisms are celebrated after the 10:00 a.m. Mass on the first and the third Sundays of the month. You must be a registered member of the SPX parish community to have your child baptized at St. Pius X. If you have questions about registration, please contact us at 614-866-2859. 

Baptism Preparation Class 

A baptism preparation class is offered monthly for parents seeking baptism for children ages 6 and under, and is required for parents who have not attended a preparation class within the past three years. The classes are offered on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Please call the parish office to register for a class, 614-866-2859. Baptisms are celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month after Mass at 11:30 AM. Please call the office to schedule a date for baptism.

Godparents

Both godparents/sponsors should be: 1) active and practicing Catholics; 2) registered members of a Catholic parish; and 3) in good standing.* 
 In exceptional circumstances, the parents may select one Catholic godparent, and then designate one non-Catholic Christian sponsor, as a "Christian witness."
 In all cases, whether: a) there are two Catholic godparents, or b) there is one Catholic godparent and one Christian witness, one of them must be male and one must be female. 
 
 *An official letter (with the unique seal of that parish) is to be sent to St. Pius X, from the current pastor of the Catholic parish of the godparent/s, indicating that they meet the requirements specified by Church/Canon Law (as listed 1 - 3, above).
 

Baptism for Older Children & Adults

Older children are prepared for Baptism through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (OCIC) and adults are prepared through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA). These Baptisms usually take place during the Easter Vigil Mass.
 
 If you have questions about OCIC, please contact Joe Filous, through the parish office: 614-866-2859 ext 127. 
 
 If you have any questions regarding OCIA, please contact Deacon Joseph Lemay,  at 614-866-2859 ext. 123. You may also call the parish office at 614-866-2859.
