Baptism Prep Classes

During the Baptism ceremony, parents/guardians are asked: “You have asked to have your child baptized. In doing so you are accepting the responsibility of training them in the practice of the faith. It will be your duty to bring them up to keep God’s commandments as Christ taught us, by loving God and our neighbor”
  • 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?
Also during the Baptism ceremony, your child will be signed with the cross on their forehead by the presider, and he will invite you and the Godparents to do the same.
  • 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.
