Baptism Information

Fr. JP is available to perform baptisms after Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon after Mass.  Please call the church office at 843-631-1459 or email edistocatholic@charlestondiocese.org to schedule.  PLEASE NOTE that at least one godparent must be Catholic.

Required documentation includes:

  • A copy of the child’s birth certificate
  • A letter of good standing from the pastor of the godparent’s home parish
  • Completion of our Baptism information form
  • A letter of good standing from the pastor of the child’s parents home parish.

There is no fee for receiving the sacrament.  However, an administrative fee of $150 is charged for non-parishioners to cover set up and clean- up of the sacramental pieces and the use of the church.  Please make your check out to St. Frederick & St. Stephen Catholic Church.

Please submit the above as soon as possible after scheduling the baptism.
