Baptism

Children under the age of seven years are welcomed into life in Christ and the Christian community through the sacrament of Baptism. Families are encouraged to contact the parish office as soon as possible when expecting a child, or shortly after their birth to secure availability of your preferred date/time. You may call the parish office at 502-459-4251.

A Baptism Registration Form must be completed and submitted prior to the scheduling of the sacrament.

Once this form is received, someone in the parish office will contact you to discuss the baptism plan.
