Baptism is the first of seven sacraments instituted by our Lord. Since the Second Vatican Council, the Church looks upon this sacrament in a different light from years gone by. We now approach the sacrament with preparation and understanding.

Many people simply believe that they can call the rectory after the birth of their child and schedule a date and time for the baptism. To a certain extent this is true, but the date and time is not set until the parents attend a baptismal preparation class so that they might gain a better appreciation of this sacrament. This class is normally held on an as needed basis.

It is only necessary to participate in this class for the first child that you are having baptized.

If you are anticipating the birth of a child, please contact Deacon Bill, and he will set a time for this class that is convenient for all parties.
