Please come to the Parish Office to schedule your child's baptism and to register for the baptism class. Our Baptism classes for both English & Vietnamese baptisms are held on the third Monday of the month, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room - Parish Center . This class is best taken before your child is born. If this is not possible, please try to arrange for childcare. Babysitting is NOT provided.
Private Baptisms are discouraged. Baptism is an entrance into God's Family and into the Christian Community, therefore it should be a community celebration.
Baptisms for children over the age of 6 are arranged through the Religious Education office. Please call 633-5344 to inquire.
Baptisms for Adults must be arranged through the R.C.I.A.
Contact Armida Deck, Faith Formation Director, at 633-5358.
Weddings are scheduled for members of the parish only. Please complete an application available in the parish office, at least six months before setting a date for your wedding.
