1. Call the Parish Center about arrangements.

All the information we will need to have your baby baptized will be asked over the phone. For example, you will be asked if you have chosen godparents. One godparent must be a practicing, confirmed Catholic. An unbaptized person cannot be a godparent or sponsor. Call between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.to speak with one of our receptionists.

• • •  Baptisms are held on Sunday afternoons during each month. Up to four babies are baptized in one ceremony. Families meet in the church community room about 20 minutes before the Baptism.

2. Attend a Baptism Preparation Class.

• • • All parents (even if they have had another child Baptized), are asked to attend a Baptism Preparation Class, usually held the 4th Sunday of the month.
    • Baptism Coordinators serve as Facilitators for the Baptism Preparation Class and the Baptisms.

St. John of the Cross is honored and happy to celebrate the baptism of your child with you and your family. For adult baptisms, please see RCIA menu section.
