Dear Parents:
  If this is the first child to be baptized in our Parish Grouping, we ask the parents to take a Baptism Preparation Class. The Godparents are most welcome to attend as well. 
  We ask parents to be registered in their parish (if you live outside our parish grouping, we ask for permission from your pastor and fulfillment of your own parish’s procedures for baptism).
  If the child is 7 years old or older, the Church instructs us that s/he is to be prepared for the baptism; s/he will need one year of religious education to prepare for baptism, which begins her/his faith formation.
Please contact the parish office at (712)673-2582 to obtain the baptismal registration form.
