Father Vincent offers Baptismal preparation class 4 times per year. This is your opportunity to meet with Father Vincent informally and further your understanding of the importance of the sacrament of Baptism. A light meal will be provided.

One four hour session for parents and godparents is held four times per year on Sundays beginning with mass at 11:00 am.

Participants are to register for these sessions in advance,
preferably prior to the birth of the child.

Baptism Preparation Dates

 Jun 23, 2019

Godparents should be chosen with care. They should be people who are knowledgeable of the faith and  enthusiastic witnesses of the faith.  They must be fully intiated in the Church, having  received Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. If married, they must be married in the Catholic Church.  Documents will be requested to verify that these Sacraments have been received.  Godparents, it is hoped, will take an active role in their godchild's growth in faith and build a loving, trust-filled relationship with the child.    
 

• A baptized person from another Christian denomination may serve as a witness.

• A godparent must be at least 16 years of age

• One godparent is sufficient, when there are two, one must be male and one female.

• Parents of the child being baptized may not serve as godparents

• Baptisms will be scheduled with Father Vincent on the second Sunday of the month after the 11:00 am Mass. Parishioners who prefer to have the Baptism at “their” regular Mass time may make that request through the parish office.  Baptisms will not be celebrated during Lent and Advent, except for specific pastoral reasons.

Classes begin with the celebration of Mass at 11:00 am. Following the 11:00 am Mass, there will be a meet and greet with Father Vincent, which includes a light meal.  The class will conclude with a baptismal rehearsal in the church which will assure your comfort on that special day.
