- Baptism Preparation Frequently Asked Questions

Baptism Instruction -

This process consists of a single meeting with parents and godparents, following the 10:00am Mass on Sunday with a brunch and discussion. The meetings are held every other month. We will discuss the importance of raising your children in the Catholic faith along with the importance of the role that godparents play given by couples of the parish. We also go over the signs and symbols of Baptism and why we do what we do.

Godparents -

For the Sacrament of Baptism you should be fully initiated into the Church, that is you must be baptized and confirmed and living a faith-filled life. You must worship a God in terms of regular participation at Holy Mass and should be part of the baptised life. Godparents assume a spititural relationship with those whom they sponsor.
