Baptism Of School-Age Children
School-Age Baptism
In Grades 2-12, children who were never baptized are prepared for baptism. At least one parent must be Catholic and both parents should agree to the baptism. Children are prepared for First Eucharist as well.
If a child is Grade 6 or higher, they should register for Youth Group as well.
For School-Age Baptism (which includes First Eucharist), the parish requests a $50 registration fee (if the family is financially able), which covers the cost of both Baptism and First Eucharist.
A candidate who is in Grade 2 or higher, and is preparing for Baptism, will not need to register for First Reconciliation until the following school year (after Baptism and First Eucharist).
