SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM - INFANTS (O - 6 years)
Our Baptism program helps to prepare parents and godparents as spiritual guides for the child. Classes are designed so participants gain a deep understanding of what the Church expects of them regarding their commitment to the Church and the spiritual life of the child.

Download Baptism Intake Form here, complete and mail or drop it off to the Parish Office together with the process fees (to the attention of the Parish Secretary)
Note: Pre-baptismal Classes are in-person. Parents are required to attend two classes and god-parents at one of the classes together with the parents. The Baptism Team will coordinate schedules with parents once the paperwork is in order.
