“Baptism is the door to life and to the kingdom of God.  
Christ offered this first sacrament of the
new law to all men that they might have eternal life."
                                                                 (Rite of Baptism for Children, #3)

You  cannot sign up your child for a baptism
until you become a registered member of the parish.
Once you become a registered member, you will be
asked to give some information to make your baptism date
official. Please be advised that only the parent or the
guardian of the child who is going to be baptized may call
and schedule a baptismal ceremony.


Baptismal ceremonies are celebrated on the 2nd
and 4th Sundays of the month at 1:00 pm and
usually last about an hour. They also must be
arranged at least two months in advance.

It is mandatory that the parents of the child(ren) being baptized attend a baptism class.  The classes are held in the convent after the 10 a.m. Mass.

The following is a schedule of the baptism classes for 2010
