Baptizing a Child at St. John or St. Scholastica

Details on Baptism at the Western Catholic Community of St. John and St.Scholastica

Sacramental Preparation:

Parents bringing their first child for Baptism are required to meet with clergy for sacramental preparation.  Contact Fr. Dave Barrett to schedule this meeting.
 

To Schedule a Baptism:

The Sacrament of Baptism is in the church and the day and time is scheduled with the parents and clergy.  Most often Baptisms happen immediately following Sunday morning masses.  [Baptism is not offered during the season of Lent.] Please contact Fr. Dave Barrett to schedule the Baptism. Other in-take information will be taken at this time, including the sponsors’ names. To ensure accuracy in the sacrament registry, please bring to the Baptism a copy of the child’s birth certificate.
