Baptism

Our next baptism class will be in January or February 2012  (date to be set soon). Contact the office to pre-register.    

    All parents are expected to attend the baptismal preparation program before their child’s baptism is celebrated at liturgy. If  you attended our parish's class for another child within the last 5 years, re-attending the class is optional for this child. 

      The baptism program will be offered four times a year. A suggested donation for materials is $20.00. We ask parents to register in advance with the office, SMC.Lit@Q.com, 

    Parents may schedule a baptism at the conclusion of the preparation program.

     Baptism will be celebrated during the weekend Mass and will normally be limited to two families at each mass. Baptisms will not be celebrated during the seasons of Advent or Lent.
