Sacrament of Baptism
Contact Diane Huck at the parish office (223-5562) at least three months before the birth of your child to begin preparation for the Sacrament of Baptism. Please contact her before you make your decisions on godparents, official dates or travel plans of guests to ensure you have all the information you will need to make your decision. Please see the information to the left regarding selection of Godparents.
The two-part preparation process for all parents includes:- Attendance at Beyond Baptism: A Parent Gathering
This two-hour event gives parents an opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith, particularly the Sacraments of the Church in order to pass on the Catholic faith once the child is Baptized. Godparents are encouraged to attend. Participation in one of these monthly events is to be completed BEFORE the date of the Baptism. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.- A Baptism visit about two weeks before the Baptism
The Baptism visit takes approximately 1 hour and gives parents knowledge of the actual Rite of Baptism. It covers the use of symbols in the ceremony and practical details of the Baptismal Celebration.
Baptisms are scheduled the first Saturday of the month (after the 4:30 pm Mass) and the third Sunday of the month (after the 11:30 am Mass).
