How to get your child baptized...
We are delighted that you've chosen the Church of St. Genevieve for your child's baptism.  This is the first step on your child's journey of faith.  We are here to assist with you in every possible way as you raise your child in the faith.  The baptism of your child is a very important opportunity for you, the parents, to reaffirm your Catholic faith.  As you are preparing to baptize your child, you are affirming that you will actively participate in your own spiritual life and in your child's Catholic faith development.

For this reason, we invite you to...

 Sign up to become members of the Church of St. Genevieve (if you are not already members)
(at least one parent needs to be a Catholic, registered member of the parish)

 Sign up to participate in a Baptism Preparation Session (BPS) before your child is baptized.
(parents need to attend a session within 3 years of requesting baptism for their child)
