After taking a several-month hiatus from holding baptism ceremonies and classes due to the pandemic, starting August 1, 2020, St. Ignatius resumed baptism preparation using a new method allowing you to prepare at home.
Please contact Mrs. Mary Cruz in the parish office to begin the baptism preparation process.
At this time, we are only able to offer classes to parents or godparents who are parishioners or who are involved with a baptism at St. Ignatius.
Here are the steps for parents seeking baptism. Note: parents who have recently attended a baptism preparation class do not need to attend the online preparation class and follow up conversation.
Baptisms can only be scheduled after all preparation is complete. Infants can be baptized during one of two times at St. Ignatius:
Just as God proclaimed his love for Jesus at his Baptism, God calls each of us "beloved" when our souls are made holy in the waters of Baptism. We are no longer spiritual orphans separated from God by original sin. By the Sacrament of Baptism, we become adopted sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven who loves and cherishes us beyond measure.
