One of those instances where the German language tells you more than you need to know. IMO \"canon\" is an adequate translation in English as the \"Pfarrer\" part is silently presupposed. Should you want to translate word for word, then you need to take into consideration the denomination as the word \"Pfarrer\" can be \"parish priest\" (katholisch), \"pastor\" (evangelisch), \"vicar\" (anglikanisch), \"minister\" (von Freikirchen), etc., etc.

I would leave \"Pfarrer\" well alone and translate as \"canon\".

Another option and, hopefully, the happy medium:

baptized by Revd Canon X / Canon Revd X (Revd here renders \"Pfarrer\" as form of address).

Oops... Pls add \"the\": The Revd Canon

Cathedral priest

Based on Muret-Sanders, Domkapitel = chapter of a cathedral.

Baptism. Children should be baptized within the first few weeks after birth and baptism should take place in one’s proper parish. At Holy Rosary, Baptism usually is celebrated on Sundays at 2:00 p.m., with prior arrangement.
Registered parishioners may contact the Cathedral priest of your choice to arrange the Preparation as well as the date of Baptism. Godparents are to be practicing Catholics over 16 years old. For Cathedral guidelines regarding Baptism, click here.
