Baptism


 

 

Please call the Parish Office at 920-748-2325 to begin the baptism process.

 


Parents who have never had a child baptized in the Catholic Church are required to attend a Baptism preparation class prior to the Baptism.       
These sessions are scheduled monthly at a time convenient for both the instructor and the parents.  We encourage parents to attend a session early in the pregnancy or adoption process.  It is more difficult to find the time to attend a session after a child has arrived.  Baptisms are celebrated at a time agreed upon by the priest and parents. 


 

Some questions for parents to consider:

• Do we want our child Baptized during Mass or after Mass?
• Is one of our child’s Baptismal sponsors (godparents) a 

   confirmed, practicing Catholic who will be a good Catholic role

   model for the child?
• Are we willing to grow and be a model of our faith going

  forward, so that our children will see in us an example of

  Catholic Christian life and practice which they can follow?

 

By having their child baptized, parents commit themselves to handing on the gift of faith that was first given to them.


Wherever you are in life’s journey, we are happy  to help you grow in your faith, even if you have been distanced from the Church for a time.

A child’s baptism may lead individuals back to regular, consistent practice of the faith.

 

We look forward to sharing in this sacrament with you. If you have any further questions regarding baptism and the preparation process, please do not hesitate to contact us.
