- Baptism Class
  
  We ask all parents to attend one Baptism Class. These are scheduled every six weeks.
  
  Families with a child baptized after June 2020 do not need to attend the class but are welcome.
  
  Godparents are welcome to attend the class if they wish.
- Next Steps
  
  Parents, families and the Church each have specific roles in the ritual of Baptism, so before your child is baptized, we meet with you so that our celebration of the Baptism ritual is done gracefully and well.
  
  At the meeting, we will go over the details of the ceremony, with emphasis on the symbols and the promises that you will make for your child. We’ll also cover the movements that you will make with your child and the godparents.
  
  We have special instructions for children 4 or older; we will discuss these with you.
  
  Please complete the information form to register for the next Class.
  
  Baptisms are usually celebrated at the end of the 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass or after the noon Mass on Sunday.
  
  Blessings to you and your family, and we look forward to meeting with you to prepare for your child’s Baptism!
