Baptism Preparation

Members of the Baptism Preparation ministry provide instruction to parents prior to their child's baptism assisting with Baptism preparation and faith development. The Baptismal ministry assists in the development of the parish and the growth of the church.  The time spent teaching is a time for deepening the faith commitment of the parents so they can step up as role models for their children.

Baptism Preparation classes are held the third Sunday of every month following the 8 a.m. Mass in St. Jules Hall. Please contact the parish secretary to sign-up to attend a class.
