St. Peter Celestine

I am pleased that you are planning to have your child baptized at St. Peter Celestine Parish. It is a special day for our parish community and your family. It is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate anew the meaning of Church and the 'outward sign' we call Sacrament.

I welcome you and your family again in the baptism of this newest member of our community. Hopefully, our baptismal preparation program will help you recognize and understand the important responsibilities you face as Catholic parents. At St. Peter Celestine, we hope that parents presenting a child for baptism do so with a serious commitment to raising their child within the faith-filled experiences of the Church.

Your own participation at Sunday Eucharist and the importance of modeling that faith will become that much more vital as your child grows older and is ready to receive other sacraments.

Our baptismal preparation classes are held on Tuesday evenings. Parents are asked to attend one preparation session before the baptism of their child. Godparents are also invited to this preparation session. Please bring your godparents' Sponsorship Certificates to the class. If you are not married, bring the child's Birth Certificate to the session.

Baptisms can be scheduled in church on most Sundays at 12:30 p.m. or during the Saturday evening 4:30 PM Mass or the 9:00 AM or 11:00 AM Sunday Masses. Please call the Parish Center for available dates and a schedule of Baptismal Preparation classes. The suggested offering to the church is $50 and should be given to the deacon or priest who performs the celebration.

On behalf of the priests, deacons and staff of our parish community, I pray that you will continue to find St. Peter Celestine Parish a place of peace and friendship, and its people gracious and kind.

With God's blessings on you and your growing family,

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev Thomas A. Newton
Pastor
