Baptism Call the Parish Secretary at 884-2105 to schedule your child's Baptism and your Parents' Baptism Preparation Class. Baptisms take place at NOON on SUNDAY (see schedule below) or at another time and day due to special circumstances.   Parents are required to attend our Baptism Preparation Class prior to the Baptism. Our Baptismal program recognizes that parents are the primary religious educators of their children, therefore, parents are required to attend a Baptism Preparation class. The purpose of the class is to deepen the parents' understanding of the sacrament of Baptism, to help the parents begin the process of faith sharing with their child, and to strengthen the family's sense of commitment to the church. We hope that through this sharing of faith, parents will experience being members of the Body of Christ.   Prospective parents are encouraged to attend our Baptism Preparation class 3 to 4 months prior to the birth of their child.  Our instructors are Gene and Helen Ripa - 884-3141.    Baptism Preparation Classes are offered at 7:00pm on WEDNESDAY (see schedule below).    Parent's Baptism Preparation Class at 7:00pm, Wednesdays Baptisms taking place at Noon, Sundays  February 9, 2011   February 13  May 4, 2011   May 8 June 8, 2011   June 12    July 6, 2011   July 10 August 10, 2011   August 14 September 7, 2011   September 11 October 5, 2011   October 9 November 9, 2011   November 13 December 7, 2011   December 11
