The Church teaches that parents are the primary educators of their child in the faith. In keeping with this belief, all parents presenting an infant for Baptism must participate in a Baptismal preparation session. The Preparation Program gives parents and godparents an opportunity to reflect on their own faith, to learn more about the meaning of the Sacrament of Baptism, and to be made aware of the responsibilities of being Catholic parents or sponsors at Baptism.
Baptismal preparation classes are offered at St. Stephen on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM. Dates are subject to change.
To begin Baptism Prep class registration, please complete the Baptism Information Form. Please fill out the form as best you can and submit it electronically. Once our parish receives the completed form, someone from the parish stafff will contact you about setting up a Baptism preparation date.
