 If you are planning for the baptism of your child, please complete the baptism inquiry form, then call the parish office to confirm receipt. 
After completing the baptismal inquiry form, the next steps are to arrange for an initial conversation.

• The conversation will center around their relationship with God and the Church and the reasons for requesting Baptism for their child. At this time they will chose/confirm a date for the child's Baptism.
• According to Liturgical Norms, baptisms are not to be celebrated during the season of Lent.

The Baptismal font is of great importance. At Saint Alphonsus Liguori, it is very noticable and at the entrance of the church; so you are immediately reminded of your own baptism as you enter the worship space. By our Baptism we have become members of Christ, dedicated to following him all of our lives.
Baptism is our initial sacrament of iniation.

Saint Alphonus Liguori offers PRESCHOOL (starting at age 3)

Parents having their child baptized here at St. Alphonsus Liguori Parish are asked to attend a baptism preparation class.  Classes are currently being held remotely.

Classes are conducted by trained couples in the Baptism preparation program. Participants will watch a video on the Church's teaching on Baptism, discuss the significance of Baptism in their child's life, and the seriousness of this event in their lives.

Baptism Preparation couples prepare parents of children who will be baptized at St. Alphonsus Parish. The Baptismal Prep ministry uses several couples to work with parents who are preparing to have their child baptized. It requires about three hours per month.

There are no Baptism during Lent.
