[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Not about the grandparents, it's something we want.  DC1 was baptized at the church where I was a teacher, but I don't work there anymore.  DH and I were both raised catholic, although I tend toward the episcopalian faith more now.  We just don't have the energy or time to attend church right now with two very young kids.  It's a struggle to shower on a Sunday morning, much less get everyone dressed and to mass.  It's not about finances- I'd be happy to contribute to a parish- it's the time involved in attending classes, going to mass, etc.   I'd like to take the kids when they are a bit older and church could have some meaning for them.  But I'd like to get DC2 baptized as a baby; I just didn't know if there were churches that would do that without the commitment of membership.[/quote]

OP, check your local parish website. You would have to do the class, but in my experience just one of you need to go. You do have to sign up in advance, for scheduling purposes.

We are military, and I had all of my kids baptized in my home parish in another state. Perhaps you can call the parish you used to teach at and see if they will baptize your child there. they might be willing even though you are not members.

Start with a phone call. It is probably less work than you think.

Good luck!
