Baptismal Preparation for Infants:
Baptism for a child involves a serious obligation and
faith commitment of the part of the parents. A series of
instructions with parents and godparents is necessary before Christian
Baptism. Parents are encouraged to begin the process of
preparation prior to the birth of their child. A date for the
Rite of Baptism will not be set until the preparation is complete.

Catholics Come Home:
There is a yearning in the hearts of many inactive Catholics to
return to the Church. It is alright to come back, because you miss
Mass, Holy Communion. Inactive Catholics will say: "I just stopped
going." "I became a non-practicing Catholic." "I always felt I was a
Catholic." You are longing for reassurance of belonging and
participating in the Catholic Church. There are Church failures, human
failures, missteps, errors and wrong judgment. Jesus said in Matthew
10:5, "Go after the lost sheep." The first step to go back is the most
difficult one. But this is the Church you belong to. We welcome you
home.
If you have been away from the church or are drifting away from it,
if you've been hurt by the church, or are confused or angry because of
your Catholic experience, please consider our invitation to come and
talk with us. Contact Charlotte Amato by

Perhaps one of the first services a boy or girl can perform for the

responsibility and builds a kinship with the Church and community. It
can instill a sense of pride and honor for their part in the
celebration of the Mass. Any student currently in the 3rd grade, and
going into the 4th grade in the fall, or up, is invited to attend a
training session. Adults also are invited to enroll for training. For
