To arrange a baptism for your child, call the office and register for the next Baptism Preparation Class.

Parents and both Godparents are required to attend a preparation session which lasts about an hour. No baptism date will be chosen until parents and Godparents attend a preparation session. Parents are to be registered at St. Anne’s or another Catholic parish.  If the parents or Godparents live elsewhere and thus can’t attend the preparation class at St. Anne, then they can attend a baptism class at the closest Catholic parish.  They need to ask the preparation instructor to send a Certificate of Completion to St. Anne’s Church.

Godparents should both be Catholic, attend Sunday mass regularly, and are “in good standing” with the Church. “In good standing” means that if single, they are not cohabitating; and if married, the marriage is recognized by the Catholic Church. (Please ask if you are unsure.) One man and one woman are to be Godparents. 

Adults – Adults are always welcome to receive the final sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation and Holy Communion.  It is never too late to commit yourself to the Lord through the gifts of His sacraments.  For those wanting to know more about God and how to become a member of His Church, the program in place for you is called RCIA.  (Right of Christian Initiation for Adults)
