Preparation for Baptism

Preparation Classes for Baptism

Preparation for the baptism of a child includes a three-week class. During these sessions, you will learn about the grace and love that God gives us at baptism as well as the role of parents and godparents. There will also be instruction in the meaning and purpose of baptism. Plenty of time is set aside for questions and reflection.

Baptisms always take place within the celebration of the Eucharist, usually on designated days throughout the year. Baptisms are always offered on the following feast days:

• The Day of Pentecost  (May or June)
• All Saints' Sunday  (November)
• The Baptism of Our Lord  (January)
• The Great Vigil of Easter  (March or April)

Other Sundays are occasionally scheduled for baptisms. Please speak with a priest for more information.
