Sacraments
Baptism
Â
Baptism, the first sacrament of initiation, prepares us to celebrate the Eucharist. Families wishing to prepare their children for initiation are asked to contact the Parish Office.
Baptisms are usually held on the third Sunday of each month [except January and Lent], usually during either of the Sunday [5:30pm Saturday or 8:00am Sunday] Masses.
Baptism forms are obtainable from the Parish Office. At least one parent is required to attend a Baptism Preparation Class before the child's baptism. Classes are usually held at 7:15pm on the last Thursday of each month [except December] in preparation for baptisms the following month. To check the dates for this year [2023], see below.
