According to the Armenian Church Canons, baptism may only be performed once in a person’s lifetime, provided such baptism has been performed in a Christian Church and in the name of the Holy Trinity. At least one of the godparents must be a member of the Armenian Orthodox Church. Please try to schedule your baptism ceremony at least two months in advance by calling the church office. The office will provide the parents additional details and forms at that time.
