Baptizing your child at St. Joseph
 

Sacrament preparation class for the parents and Godparents before baptism, is a required part of the process. The class may be attended before or after the birth of the baby. 

Baptism classes are offered on the first Saturday of every month. Pre-registration is required. Attendees must register by noon Friday prior to the Saturday class.

Birth certificates and proof of sacraments (for parents and godparents) must be presented to the office before scheduling a baptism. 

Baptism will normally be celebrated during the Sunday liturgy to fulfill the liturgical requirement of community being present to witness the new life given to their brother/sister in Jesus Christ. Baptisms are celebrated at all Masses on the last complete weekend of the month (when the last Saturday and Sunday of the month are in the same month).

Baptisms also are celebrated on the 4th Saturday; for 10 a.m. (English) or 11 a.m. (Spanish).
(This is the rite only; no Mass/Communion).

There are no Baptisms during Lent.
