- Is this responsibility what you expected for yourself in your decision to seek baptism for your child
- Does this mean any changes for your family?
- You are claiming your child for Christ. You are blessing your child.
- You are acknowledging your commitment to raise your child to be a disciple of Christ.
This responsibility and commitment require preparation of the parents/guardians and Godparents.
Parent/Guardian preparation consists participating in one 3-hour class at Holy Disciples (or another Catholic Church). Nursery care is not provided during Baptism classes.
