Infant Baptisms are available to children up to the age of 7, with the expectation that your child go through faith eduction in preparation of receiving their first reconciliation, first communion and confirmation. Baptisms are generally celebrated at 12:30 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month. There is no fee for Baptism, however donations are greatly appretiated and accepted.

Godparents must be baptized Catholic or Orthodox (at least 1 must be Catholic), be at least 16 years of age, as well as be living a life in harmony with the faith. Protestants are not admitted as official godparents, but they may act as official witnesses  at the baptismal celebration and sign the baptismal register. One or two godparents are allowed and if there are two, they must be of the opposite sex.

Canon law requires that the parents and godparents be properly prepared to assume their role in the baptism of the children. Baptism preparation meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month(parents & godparents are to attend). If someone is not able to attend the preparation meeting here, then they may make arrangements to be prepared at another parish, but in this case they must provide a letter from that parish saying they have done so.

Required documents:

• Copy of baby’s birth certificate

• Copy of godparents confirmation certificate

Please send your register request to the Parish email [email protected].

In addition, make sure to include the following information:

• Name, birthdate, and birthplace of baby.

• Names, address, and phone number(s) of parents

• Name(s) of godparent(s) and current parish of worship

The Rite of the Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a guided conversion process by which non-baptized adults (catechumens) and baptized Christians (candidates) aged 19 and over are fully initiated into the Catholic Church. RCIA is an opportunity for people to learn about the doctrine of the Catholic faith and enter into full communion with the Catholic Church. A team of lay church members and clergy conducts the RCIA process over a seven-month period, which begins every year in September and continues through Easter.

An Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because I have offended you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.

Please call the office for more information.
