What is Baptism?
Saint Peter Saint Joan of Arc Parish welcomes you and your child as you prepare for the Sacrament of Baptism. As Catholics, we believe that “Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to the life in the Spirit.” (Catechism of Catholic Church 1213). Therefore, we delight in journeying with you as you ready yourselves for this monumental event in the life of your child. Click here for more information about the Sacrament of Baptism.
When are Baptisms?
Baptisms at Saint Peter Saint Joan of Arc are held at two campuses. They are celebrated on the first Saturday of the month at 10:30 a.m. at Saint Peter Church and the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 1:15 p.m. at Saint Joan of Arc Church.
How do I have my child baptized?
The process of getting your child baptized begins with registering to become a member of St Peter St Joan of Arc and submitting a baptism registration form. Parents who have not had a child baptized in the past three years are asked to attend our in-person baptism preparation program called CLAIM.
