Baptism Class

Parents are required to attend a preparation class to have their baby baptized at St. James. This class gives the catechesis of this sacrament and conveys the importance of being part of a community of faith.

Classes are scheduled for 9:00 AM Sunday on a periodic basis, except during Advent and Lent. Dates of the next class are in the parish bulletin. Classes are held in the small room off the Gathering Space. You only need to attend one class. 

Please register with Christine or the instructor Ruth Ebert.

Baptism Date

St. James does baptisms within one of the weekend liturgies, so the community can be a part of supporting and affirming the family. The parents can choose immersion (the pre-eminent sign) or pouring; you will choose which form after taking the class to learn more.
Please contact Fr. Tom directly to choose a baptism date.
