Question 1

When can a baptism take place?

Accepted Answer

Baptisms are on the first and third Sunday of the month at 3:00 p.m. The liturgy is not a mass. The length is about one hour. We limit the number of families to ten families. Families should plan to arrive for the baptism at 2:45 p.m. There will be two reserved pews for each family, marked with the family name at the end of the pew. At this time of caution, please be assured that families will be socially distanced from one another.
