Pre-Baptismal Classes
For English Baptism Preparation class, please contact Colleen McMahon to setup an appointment. Baptism preparation is required for the parents and godparents. Preparation classes are once a month at 10:30am in the Father David Shaw Religious Education Building.
Baptismal Preparation Class is a ministry established for parents and godparents of young children; ages 0-5 years. The classes remind and inform parents and godparents of the obligations and responsibilities that go along with having their children baptized. The classes review some history of Baptism, the symbolism used during the Sacrament as well as information and ideas how to carry on the Sacrament of Baptism after the actual ceremony.
