Baptism Preparation for Children 6 years and younger
At St. Matthew, Baptism Preparation meetings are offered on a regular basis — usually the third week of every month.
The next meetings are on:
- Tuesday, November 12 at 7:00 PM
- Saturday, November 16 at 10:30 AM
Preparation meetings are required for parents and guardians with children aged six or younger. If you have had a child baptized at St. Matt’s in the last five years, you may waive this requirement — but you’re invited to attend a meeting if you wish.
Registration is required, at least one week in advance. To register — or for more information —please contact Cristina Czaia () or call the Parish Office (651-224-9793).
Baptism Preparation for Children 7-13 Years Old
Baptism Preparation for children age 7-13 and their parents will involve three classes over the months of November through January, on the following dates:
- Wednesday, November 13 at 5:00 PM
- Wednesday, December 18 at 5:00 PM
- Wednesday, January 15 at 5:00 PM
Attendance is required for parents/guardians, and their children.
Baptisms for older children will occur in February, before Lent so that these children are prepared to make their First Communion during the Easter season with their peers.
First Communion formation is done through our Faith Formation program. Please email Janelle Rohr () for more information on First Communion preparation.
Registration for the baptism preparation classes is required by Thursday, November 7. To register – or for more information – please contact Cristina Czaia () or call the Parish Office (651-224-9793).
