Sacraments

 Infant Baptisms are celebrated on the Second and Fourth Sundays of the Month following the 11:00 am Mass.
 
 Baptisms are great times for parents to recommit themselves to their faith for the good of their children. 
 
 To schedule a baptism parents should contact the Parish Office to schedule to attend the Baptismal Preparation class which is held on the First Sunday of every month at 12:30 pm in the church. Registration is required.

 Parents need to choose Godparents for their child. A god parent needs:

• To have received the sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation in the Roman Catholic Church
• Be registered and participating in a Catholic Community on a regular basis
• If they are married, the marriage needs to be recognized by the Roman Catholic Church

If the godparents are registered and practicing at Immaculate Conception, they should contact the Parish Office for a letter of eligibility. If they are registered and practicing somewhere else, they should contact that parish for a letter of eligibility.

Once the parents have attended the class and presented at least one eligible godparent, they can schedule the baptism.

If the person to be baptized is over 10 years old or an adult please see the RCIA Page for more information.

If there are any questions or issues, please contact the parish office to meet with a Priest or Deacon. G

We as a Parish family rejoice with couples and look to continue to educate and support them as they choose to enter the Sacrament of Marriage.

Couples should contact the Parish Office at least six months to a year prior to the marriage to complete a preliminary form and schedule a meeting with a deacon or priest who will journey with them as they prepare.
