Baptisms are held on the second Sunday of the month after the 11:30 am Mass (12:45pm).

Baptismal preparation class is mandatory for both parents and godparents prior to baptism unless they have attended a class in the last three years. Baptismal preparation class is held on the last Saturday of each month at 9:30am, in the SRE Bldg. Please bring a photocopy of your child’s birth certificate to class.  You will be asked to complete a form for the baptismal records for the parish records.  Class lasts about an hour.

Baptism will be scheduled at the preparation class.

A meeting with the baptism presider (priest or deacon) is required prior to baptism.

There can be two godparents.  Both must be over the age of 16 and baptized Christian.  One must be a practicing, confirmed Catholic.  If this godparent is a member of another parish we must have a letter from their parish verifying they are a confirmed, practicing Catholic.  If one or both godparents attend a preparation class in a different parish, we need a letter from that parish giving the date they completed the class.

Please contact Sue Hoffman at (228) 864-5868 or psuehoffman@gmail.com to reserve you spot or if you need more information.  Please call to schedule your baptism if you have already attended the baptismal preparation class.
