"Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ and made sharers in her mission..."

Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213

• Nativity celebrates Baptisms at times arranged between the family and Fr. Eric, generally on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Please email Fr Eric at [email protected] to schedule your son/daughter's baptism.

• First-time parents must attend a one-time Baptism Preparation Session. Families who have already attended a preparation session need not attend again. To attend a prep session your family must be registered parishioners at Nativity, and we would like to invite you to get involved in the life of the parish. For information on registering as a parishioner, please contact the parish office.

• Upcoming Baptism Prep Sessions are scheduled for:

  • Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 1:30 pm

  • Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 1:30 pm

• If you are a registered member of another parish or live outside the boundaries of Nativity parish but would like to have your child baptized at Nativity, permission must be granted by the pastor of your parish. Contact Fr. Eric for more information.
