If you are an adult and wish to join the Community of Faith through the Sacrament of Baptism, contact the parish office.
Dear Parents,
In the name of every member of the Parish community here at St. Matthew, we offer our congratulations and prayerful best wishes. The great event of birth was a spiritual experience in its own way, an encounter with God’s wonderful plan of creation. To see and hold new life – that you have created in cooperation with God – is a tremendous privilege.
You come now to prepare for the great Sacrament of Baptism that celebrates your child’s new life.
Please read and follow these instructions carefully:
Complete the baptism inquiry form attached and have the sponsors each fill out a sponsor form to be signed off by the parish they currently attend. A copy of the childs birth certificate is also required. Forms can be dropped off at the office or emailed to [email protected]. Once all forms are received a baptism date can be set.
First-time Baptismal parents need to attend a Baptismal Preparation Class, which is offered on the last Sunday of each month at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel. (No class is held in December.)
Note: The Baptismal Certificate will be mailed to you within four to six weeks after the Baptism.
