God's child.

Baptisms are celebrated on the first and third Sundays of each month after the 11 AM Mass.
First time parents are required to attend a Pre-Jordan (Baptism Preparation) Session. The sessions are held the fourth Monday of the month at 7:30 PM in the church.
Registration is required.
Only when Certificates of Eligibility from godparents are presented, then a date for the Baptism can be set.
Please call the rectory to set up an appointment for Pre-Jordan and Baptism.
