Baptism for infants to 6 yrs
Guidelines for Baptism Preparation and Celebration. (Guidelines are also available in a yellow brochure in the vestibule.) This preparation is for infants (newborn to 6 years old);
- All emergencies and special circumstances will be case-by-case; however, Baptisms outside of the above schedule only because godparents or family are coming into town at a specific time are NOT sufficient reasons and are NOT considered emergencies;
- Parents must complete the following before their baptimal date: schedule an interview, complete homework, and attend baptism class;
- Godparents must attend preparation either at this or another Catholic parish and have a letter documenting attendane. Additionally, godparents should be confirmed Catholics who ACTIVELY PRACTICE THEIR FAITH and regularly receive communion;
- Please call the parish office (at (253) 588 – 2141) to sign up, for details, AND to get answers to your questions.
