Parents-to-be who are expecting their first baby and who are choosing Baptism for their child are invited to attend two sessions of preparation. Infant baptisms are normally celebrated after the 10:00 AM Mass on the second Sunday of the month and during the 10:00 AM Mass on the fourth Sunday of the month. Babies are baptized by immersion unless special circumstances deem otherwise. For pastoral reasons other arrangements can be made. Baptisms during the 5:00 PM Saturday Evening Mass and the 8:00 AM Sunday Mass are encouraged, to give the Assemblies at those liturgies the opportunity to celebrate baptism as well.
Parents who have already had one child baptized are invited to attend one session. They are normally held on the third Monday evening of the month in November, January, March, May and July.
