What if there is a lot more happening in Baptism than most people realize?
In engaging sessions, the Reborn program explores the deeply personal and sacred relevancy of Baptism for Parents, Godparents and, most importantly, the Baptized.
With a step-by-step explanation of the rite itself, including its profound place in Scripture and Tradition, Reborn shows how baptism reveals the heart of God’s love for His children.
Parents planning to have their child baptized at St. Patrick Church will prepare through our REBORN program. Ordinarily, at least one parent must be a practicing Catholic registered at St. Patrick Parish. You can register on this website (“I’m New” tab) or in person at the parish office. Adult children of parish families who wish to have a child baptized must be registered under their own household. This is necessary to properly record your child’s sacraments.
Dates and Time for Baptism
Dates and times for the Sacrament of Baptism vary based on the Pastor’s schedule. To register for Reborn and set a date for baptism, please contact Carolyn Heckman:

The Sacrament of Baptism is ordinarily celebrated either during the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday and the 7:30, 9:30 or 11:30 a.m. Masses on Sunday on the first weekend of each month.
Special requests for dates and times other than those specified will be considered on an individual basis.
The parish priest or deacon will usually officiate at the Baptism. However, visiting clergy, who are close friends or relatives, are welcome to celebrate the Baptism. Please discuss this with Carolyn to arrange for a mutually agreed upon date and time for the Baptism.
