Parents should contact the Rectory 516-541-3270 at least one month prior to the preferred Baptism date. Baptisms are offered on the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 1 p.m.

Baptism Prep Class

This course is required for couples seeking to baptize their first child and is held in the main Church on the second Sunday of each month after the 10:30 a.m. Mass. The class provides vital information to couple, godparents, and those who wish to attend. For more information, contact the Parish office or Deacon Fred at 201-481-0800.

Each family is expected to have already contacted the Parish Office for a registration form (that they may bring with them, leave at the rectory office, or complete at the session).  Sessions are typically under an hour. The forms must be returned to the office before the scheduled Baptism date, unless otherwise approved to bring them to the Baptism. After the Rite, the presider signs and returns the registration form to our office for preparation of a baptismal certificate.

The godparents chosen must be confirmed Catholics and at least 16 years of age, who lead a life of faith in keeping with the Church and her teachings. Exceptional circumstances of a godparent should be discussed with a priest prior to the Baptism.
