Note from the Diocese of Dallas on Children’s Sacraments and Religious Education:
Please be aware that only a parent or legal guardian may arrange for the sacraments, or religious education, of a minor child. It must be confirmed that any person registering a minor child for continuing religious education, or sacramental preparation, has the legal authority to do so. If that adult’s name is not reflected on the child’s birth certificate, or in the case of an already baptized minor child, on the baptismal certificate, the person must provide the proper documentation that shows he/she has the legal right to arrange for the spiritual needs of this child.

DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR REGISTRATION

In order to process a child’s registration, the person turning in the registration form must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions at the time of registration:

• Am I the parent or legal guardian of the child I am trying to register?
• Has my child been baptized? 
  • If yes, do I have a Newly Issued Baptismal Certificate from the child’s Church of Baptism with me? (If baptism was received at Our Lady of the Lake no baptismal certificate is needed)
  • If no, do I have a copy of the child’s birth certificate with me?
• Do I have the full registration payment with me? (we accept credit or debit cards or e-checks)
