The Pre-Baptism preparation program seeks to develop in the parent a deeper awareness of the process of rearing a child in the Catholic community. Parents are encouraged to make Session 1 before the birth of their child. Session 2 is to be made the night before the Baptism date that has been reserved with the rectory office. Missing one of these sessions will postpone the Rite of Baptism itself. Rectory Office will furnish dates of sessions.
Registration is necessary.
Session numbers limited. MUST BE registered parishioners of parish. Pre-Baptism sessions are required before child will be baptized. For children of grade school age, preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation is at least a two-year process. Sacramental Awareness Sessions for Parents Sessions are designed to assist parents in their role as primary religious educators of their children.
