  • Any individual who desires to be baptized is welcome at Pax Christi. 

    Current and expecting parents of infants and/or toddlers seeking the Sacrament of Baptism for their child(ren) typically attend a 60 minute workshop with some optional follow-up opportunities. Baptisms are held during or after Masses and will be scheduled through our parish office staff at a date of your choosing (pending availability).

    Parents of individuals over the age of 4 are asked to contact our formation staff to discuss preparation options as they vary depending on age and maturity. Adults seeking the Sacrament of Baptism are welcome to explore OCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) for further information.

    When you are ready to begin the baptismal preparation process start with these steps:

    1. Read THIS Parent Information Guide
    2. Click here to Submit the Baptism Information Form to begin the process
    3. *Register for a Baptism Workshop (see times and dates below)
    4. Schedule a date for the Baptism with our receptionist (contact info below)

    *If none of the Baptism Workshop times work for you contact our Staff for further assistance.

STARTING POINT (by Dynamic Catholic) equips you with the tools necessary for becoming the parents God created you to be... so that your child can become the person he or she was created to be.
