Sacramental Records FAQ

- In a Regional Confirmation (Confirmation where several Parishes are participating), where should the sacrament be recorded? (Sacramental Handbook pg 7) Sacraments are recorded in the parish the sacrament was received.
- Who contacts the Parish of Baptism? The parish of membership is responsible to notify the parish of baptism for each of their confirmands. (Sacramental Handbook pg 19)
- How do I record a convert from another Christian Faith? (Sacramental Handbook pg 14) When an (already baptized) convert joins the Church, a new record is created in the Baptismal record where the person joined the Church. In the Baptismal register it is stated where the baptism took place (ex: Trinity Lutheran Church and the date of the baptism) Usually a person is confirmed when they convert. This should be recorded in both the baptismal register, and the confirmation register. Any sacraments received later (such as marriage or ordination) should be recorded in the baptismal register where the person joined the Church.
