The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated at St. John’s during the 10:30 Mass or immediately following Mass. Exceptions will be made in the case of emergencies and if it is too difficult to gather family, godparents, etc.

Parents are asked to call the parish office to arrange the date for their child’s baptism and also the baptismal prep class. If it is your first child that is to be baptized, or if you have never attended a baptismal preparation class, it is necessary that you do so.

The class will review the theology of the Sacrament of Baptism as well as the rite itself and the obligations of the parents and godparents.

These sacraments are normally celebrated by children who are seven years old (second graders). The classes and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation take place in the late fall. The preparation and the celebration of First Communion occur in the spring. We normally celebrate First Communion on the last Sunday of April or the first Sunday of May. It is necessary that children who are preparing for these sacraments have already been baptized.

If your children are older than seven years of age or beyond the second grade and have not yet been prepared and celebrated these sacraments, please call the parish office and you will receive the necessary information.
