The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated most Sundays after 10:30 AM Mass.
Arrangments should be made in advance by contacting the parish. Call 610-664-0207 or a message by email: matthias@saintmatthias.org .
First time parents attend a Baptismal Preparation Session prior to the baptism, which is arranged for a mutually convenient time.
Sponsors (Godparents) must provide a letter of eligibility from the pastor of their home parish. Sponsors are to be at least 16 years old and practicing the Catholic Faith (e.g. attending Mass and if married, married in the Church). A baptized non-Catholic can serve as a Christian witness in place of one of the sponsors along with a practicing Catholic. Only one Catholic Godparent is required, or if two, one male and one female. If you have difficulty finding an eligible Godparent, we can assist you.
