At baptism we are embraced by love and enter into a lifelong relationship with our God and with the community of the Church. Parents should contact Margaret Churnetski at the Christian Formation Office, 334-3023 or mchurnet@dor.org, before the baby is born. Attendance at one class is required of parents. We encourage parents to plan the celebration of their child's baptism during the liturgy they usually attend so that their parish family can share their joy. Baptisms are not celebrated during the season of Lent.
Godparents are selected by the parents to help and support them in the job of raising their child/children in faith. Godparents must be fully initiated, practicing Catholics, over the age of 16.
