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. Due to COVID, these meetings happen virtually, usually via Zoom.

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 contact Mary Pat Storms (mstorms@olpls.org or 251-1113) to reserve your space for the class.

Due to Covid restrictions, we have these options for your child's baptism:

Baptisms are usually celebrated at the end of the 4:30 p.m. Saturday Mass or after the noon Mass on Sunday.

You may attend the Mass with up to 12 family members (we will reserve spaces for you) OR you may prefer to arrive at the Church towards the end of Mass (we will have you wait in the Gathering Space until those attending Mass exit.) If you are not attending Mass, we ask that you limit guests and family to 20 people so that social distancing can be maintained. Everyone age 3 or older is required to wear a mask. Father will also wear a mask.

A special bowl will be used for the water (cleansed after each Baptism.)

Blessings on you and your family, and we look forward to meeting with you to prepare for your child’s Baptism!
