Sacraments

Baptism
Baptisms are to be arranged through the parish staff. This Sacrament is celebrated during or after mass Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday. Parents are expected to attend the pre-baptism class prior to the baptism of their first child. This is best done before the birth of the baby. Your baby's baptism is a time for celebration and joy. We hope to help you plan and prepare for the baptism in the best possible way.
