Baptisms are scheduled at St. Aloysius approximately every six (6) weeks.  This sacrament of initiation is most often celebrated outside of Mass on Sunday afternoons; however, baptizing during Mass is also an option.  Since Baptism is a parish celebration warmly welcoming the infant/child into the faith community, we discourage request for “private” baptisms.  Please call the parish office upon the birth of your child to begin the planning process.

The Baptismal Preparation Program consists of a one night class typically held a week or tow prior to the conferral of Baptism.  This class provides the opportunity to truly reflect on the significance of the sacrament.  Parents focus on ways faith can be incorporated into daily family life and review symbols that will be used during the ceremony.  Those who have not taken this class at St. Aloysius within the previous five (5) years are required to attend.  Godparents are also encouraged to join us.

Any interested parishioners are invited to help with the baptismal instruction class or to serve as assistants during the baptismal ceremony.  Minimal training is required and is provided on an “as needed” basis.
