Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism will be celebrated on certain Sundays  at a communal baptism ceremony following the last Mass. 
 
If this is your first child being baptized, you must attend a required Baptismal Preparation class.  The Baptismal Preparation class is an evening of fellowship and instruction led by a Deacon.  This class takes place on a bi-monthly basis but you must register a few months in advance.  Baptism preparation classes are held on Wednesday evenings and are hosted by a parish couple in their home.
