Although everyone is eligible for the Sacrament of Baptism, there are certain requirements in our parish. If a child is five years old or younger he/she does not need to attend any special classes to be baptized.
If the child is older, he/she is required to attend the R.C.I.C. or R.C.I.A. program, depending on the age of the child. (These two programs are explained in the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Ministerial Booklet). Parents presenting the child for Baptism must bring all documents required before they attend the baptismal classes.
Baptisms are held once a month. However, parents may choose which Mass they want the Sacrament of Baptism to be celebrated. The Baptismal ceremony will be conducted in English during the 5:00 pm Saturday (Vigil Mass), 9:00 am and 11:00 am. Masses on Sunday. If a Spanish ceremony is preferred, parents may choose the 1:00 pm Mass on Sunday.
