Baptismal Preparation

For Parents:

If you are seeking baptism for your child, we offer a comprehensive preparation program. Our Baptism Classes are now given privately by Deacon Frank or Fr. Joe. Parents and Godparents are required to attend such a session before the actual Baptism. You may attend the class elsewhere; simply bring us your certificate of completion.

For Adults:

If you are an adult seeking baptism, we welcome you with open arms. Our parish offers a program of preparation and catechesis for adults interested in receiving the Sacrament of Baptism. Please visit our RCIA Page to learn more.

Godparent Qualifications

Must be at least 16 years old and a confirmed Catholic
If married, must be married in the Catholic Church
Must be a practicing Catholic (receives Holy Communion regularly)
Non-Catholics are welcome to be witnesses; however, they are not technically considered sponsors
Sponsors are expected to attend the Baptismal Preparation Class
