[quote=Anonymous]You definitely need to register with the parish.  Baptism preparation varies by diocese and parish, at our current parish in another state we had to just attend one "class" session with one of the deacons (I think there was a video and then some discussion), I don't remember what we had to do for my oldest when we lived in NOVA; we actually ended up having him baptized in the state where our families live and just had to get a form faxed over stating that we had completed the prep work in Virginia.

Requirements for godparents vary as well, some churches require a letter from their parishes stating that they are participating members.  Only one godparent is required to be Catholic, the other one can be a "Christian witness".

Do you plan to have your kids attend religious education and go through the sacraments (reconciliation, communion, confirmation?)

In most places to become a Catholic as an adult, you will do a RCIA program, there should be information on your church's website.  But I would start by talking to a priest who seems approachable--tell him you're thinking about joining and ask if he knows of any good resources for you to explore while you're making your decision.
