Baptism for babies in our Church is for parents who want to raise their children in the Catholic
Faith. Parents who do not come to Church, even if they have other children baptized, need to come to Church
regularly if they hope to baptize their new children. God parents need to be practicing Catholics and should be able
to give the Priest an approved sponsor certificate from their home Catholic Church.
OLQA Funerals & Cemetery Information
In the case of death, families must contact the Rectory of Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church
before they sit down with any funeral director, so that appropriate and proper arrangements may be made. The Pastor
will help the family to make all arrangements for the Church, spiritual services, cemetery and burial arrangements,
luncheons, etc. Families who do not follow this procedure are usually disappointed, especially at a time when they do
not need additional stress in their lives. The choice is theirs. All funeral directors who do business with this Church
should inform their clients of this fact.
