Parents wishing to have their children baptized are required to meet with the Pastor prior to baptism. He will record all pertinent information related to the child and will require all new parents to attend a baptism class.

Classes are held the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the St. Jude room of the Msgr. Harris Center. It is led by either the Pastor or the Presiding Deacon. Topics of discussion include a review of biblical references to baptism, the responsibility of Catholic parenthood, and a discussion of the Rite of Baptism.

The Rite of Baptism is held on the second Sunday of the month after the 11:30am Mass. The celebrant is either the Pastor or the Presiding Deacon.

If you wish to have your child baptized, please contact the church office at 301-373-2281 and make an appointment to meet with the Pastor.
