Godparents must be confirmed and practicing Catholics. Non-parishioners require a Letter of Recommendation to serve as a sponsor.

Engaged couples should contact one of the parish priests before making other wedding arrangements. Courses are required to attend a Pre-Cana Conference, or equivalent pre-marital preparation program. A parish Pre-Cana program is available.

Letters of Recommendation
Recommendations to act as Sponsors of Baptism or Confirmation can be issued only to registered members of Our Lady of Victory parish who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation, attend Mass and received Holy Communion regularly, have their children attending a Catholic school or Religious Education class. If married, have entered a ceremony performed in conformity with the regulations of the Catholic Church.

Care of the Sick
