The sacrament of Baptism marks the first step on a journey of faith that lasts an entire lifetime. The sacrament welcomes a child into a faith and a faith community, and welcomes parents, godparents, family members and friends to share in this beautiful expression of initiation into the Christian faith. As a parent of a child about to be baptized, you are blessed with some awesome responsibilities and some tremendous opportunities. Baptism Preparation classes help you to understand more fully the sacrament of Baptism, and help your family to celebrate it more meaningfully. Baptism preparation classes are offered seven times a year. The classes consist of two evening sessions, usually the third and fourth Tuesdays of the month and are held at the church. The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated at weekend liturgies six times a year. To register for classes and to book a Baptism date, please call Sr. Dianne Sehn at the parish office 931-4700.
