Preparation needs to take at least one month prior to the Baptism. The Parents' Baptism Seminar is a preparation for parents who are expecting a child or have young children to present for Baptism. We will present the theological and historical, as well as the practical aspects of Baptism. Our program is based on the "Belonging" Series by Fr Mike Schmitz and Ascension Press, and is a well done and entertaining look at the importance of Baptism and your role as a parent / guardian and primary faith-formator.
