I go to a Catholic church, and lately there have been a lot of baptisms, and it's been making me think that I have never seen a baptism with only one parent. I am hoping to get my daughter baptized in my church when she's born, but I have been kind of nervous to ask about it. That has to be an irrational fear, right? I mean, can the church say no? I don't think they would, I just have never seen this, and I am from a very large parish. Sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks
i am lurking from another board, previous single mommy and i am unformular with catholic church but as far as my church which happens to be christan, non denomination they told me no with my daughter beacuse i was not married. I was able to get her baptized in the office if i wanted to. We are waiting to get both kids done at the same time as soon as our princess #2 arrives.

Catholics generally seem more strict about those sorts of things too, so I guess maybe I should be prepared for a no. That seems so wrong though, because it's not about the parents, it;s about the child. She didn't do anything wrong. But I guess baptism in an office would be fine too, just as long as she is baptized...
I had my daughter batised at the catholic church during a full mass. The church was great and asked very little. The priest even pulled me aside at the session before the baptism and asked if i wantedto leave her fathers name off the paper. I said yes and he said ok no worries. I think you should be fine. It meant alot to me and my family to have her baptised
My cousin had her son Baptized in a catholic church and she is not married. Better yet she isn't even catholic. She is Jewish but her ex was catholic and wanted him baptized. I suppose some churches are just more lenient.

XBF wants DD to be baptized at some point, but neither of us attend a certain church. Our families are both Catholic however they don't attend church either due to their jobs and schedules. Would it be unusual to call up a random church to perform the baptism?
