Baptism - Bautismo

The sacrament is celebrated on each Saturday at 11:00 am.  Arrangements for baptisms are made by calling the Parish Office.  Before a child can be baptized, there must be a founded hope on the part of the pastor that the child will be raised in the practice of the faith.    This founded hope is given to the pastor by the parents or guardians of the child in establishing a parish as their home parish.  To arrange for the baptism of your child here at St. Benedict, you must have established St. Benedict as your home parish for at least three months prior to making any arrangements.  If you have just recently registered with St. Benedict, a letter from the pastor of your former parish stating that you are an active Catholic will suffice.  Baptism preparation class is mandatory before the baptism and is held on the first Thursday of each month.  Call the parish office to register.

Los bautismos se realizan el segundo y cuarto Sábado de cada mes a las 12:00 PM. Los padres deben estar registrados en  la  parroquia  por   lo menos tres meses antes del Bautizo y deben de atender  a  la  clase de preparación de  este Sacramento. La clase en español es el primer sábado de cada mes alas 12:00 PM.  Por favor  llamar  a la oficina del Ministerio Hispano para confirmar el día del bautizo y el registro para la clase.
