Baptism
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Congratulations on taking the first step toward raising your child in the sacramental life of faith! Baptisms take place on Sundays, generally the first Sunday of the month after Mass or the third Sunday of the month during Mass. Please call the Parish Office at 651-645-9389 to register for the Sacrament of Baptism and to find out more information.
If you are the parent of a child seven years or older who desires to be baptized, please call the parish office at 651-645-9389 and ask about sacramental preparation for older children. If you are an adult who desires to be baptized, please see the information about our Exploring Catholicism program.
First-time parents and parents whose last class was three or more years ago are asked to attend a Baptism Preparation session, preferably before the baby is born. Baptism classes are usually at 6:00 PM on the second Wednesday of every other month, or by appointment, and last approximately one hour.
