Baptisms at St. Maximilian Kolbe are celebrated on the first and third Sunday of each month at 1:00pm
Please call the church office at 818-991-3915 to register for our pre-baptism class. You may request a date for your child's baptism but it will only be confirmed when all requirements are completed.

Please call for further instructions or any help needed.
 
If your child is older than five years, please call Gemma Fasani at 818-991-3915  ext. 110 for information on Faith Formation for your child.

We often receive requests to sign a statement that a certain individual is a practicing Catholic and eligible to serve as a godparent, Confirmation sponsor, or to receive some Sacrament in a Catholic Church where they are not registered. This is referred to as a Letter of Good Standing.
 
Unfortunately, what we sometimes notice is that the person who requests a verification signature:

• has not registered in our parish
• has no record of any stewardship or involvement in the parish
• is not known to anyone on the parish staff, or,
• has moved to another area or just arrived from another area and has no record of being involved here or there.

These issues make it very difficult for us to sign our name to something that we do not know.
 
Therefore, IF YOU WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AN ACTIVE PARISHIONER IN GOOD STANDING of St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish and would like to receive validation of this, we would need you to:

• Register, and use donation envelopes or register with our online giving program Faith Direct.
• Become involved in some parish program or activity.
• Fulfill your obligation to participate in Sunday Mass and Holy Days and use your envelopes or other donation options
• If you are an adult child of parents in the parish, register yourself here, or wherever you attend Mass.
• If you come from another parish and would like us to offer a Letter of Good Standing for you, please bring some statement from your previous parish that you were a practicing parishioner there.
• Finally, if you move, register in the parish at your new location, and notify us that you have moved.

The purpose of these Letters of Good Standing, is to show that you value the example and commitment of godparents and sponsors, and it is not truthful to stand up for someone when you either do not believe or practice what you are about to profess. It would not be prudent of us to sign a letter stating that someone is an active and practicing Catholic if we do not know that information.

If there are any questions or you wish to speak to someone about your particular situration, please give us a call and we can work through it together.
 
Finally, please note that our parish registrations are used only by our parish and the Archdiocese. In no way do we share the information you give to us with  any outside organization.
