When you say "a child," do you mean someone of an accountable age (say 11 or older)? It does't matter what age. Anyway your child can and should be baptized even though your not. If you want to get baptized too, you can. That would be cool if you got baptized together, right??---KM

∙ 14y agoI'm not sure what you are asking exactly? It seems as though you are asking if both parents need to be members of the parish or physically present at the Baptism?
It is my understanding (and please PLEASE check with your priest) that whatever parent/parents have legal custody of the child must be in agreement that the child should be Baptized and raised Catholic and that parent or parents would have to be there. I suppose there are exceptions to this. I would imagine, say, one of the parents were deployed or incarcerated there would have to be a way around it.
It's always best to check with your parish...

What are the similarities between the bar mitzvah and the baptise?
Both churches recognize the other's baptism as a relevant Christian baptism. Both churches practice the baptism of people of all ages (including infants) and believe the water is made Holy by God. Both baptize in the name of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit). Both believe baptism is an essential part of being ''saved'', or becoming a Christian. Parents and Godparents are present at the baptism. Holy Baptism is recognized as a Holy Sacrament in both churches. Baptism should only be performed by an ordained person, unless an ordained person cannot be reached and the person awaiting baptism is in the danger of dying.

Why does a mother present the child for baptism?
The baby is too young to reason and express his/her desire for baptism. The baby understands nothing about what is happening. The parents and Godparents speak for the child when the priest asks, "What do you desire of the Church?" The child will have the opportunity to 'confirm' that desire at a later time when he/she undergoes Confirmation.
