Do you want to have your child baptized? You have prepared for your child’s birth in many ways and now you prepare for your child’s baptism. Entry into the church’s community and God’s family through the rite of Baptism is a great decision and a significant step. This is an important choice on your part, because as parents, you are the first teachers of your child in the practice of the faith. The St. Agnes Parish Community shares your responsibility in preparing for your child’s baptism by providing an initial preparation program for parents. You are invited and expected to participate in this preparation to gain information about the celebration rite, to explore the meaning and hopes of your child’s baptism and your own expectations about sharing the life of faith.
The preparation program consists of 2-3 evening formation sessions, including discussion, a practice, and a potluck dinner.
Baptisms take place during designated weekend liturgies throughout the year. Please find the scheduled upcoming dates below:
If you feel that you are ready to share your faith in word and action with your child, please contact Kelly Landenwich at 458-9122 to register and begin preparation for your child’s baptism.
