Preparing for Baptism

Parish registration and a parent class is required. Our Baptismal Preparation Classes are once per quarter. Please contact Diane Rinkacs (information below) at the parish office three months prior to the baptism (child need not yet be born) for more information and dates. 

For Our Lady of the Cape Parishioners:

Please make sure we have your correct family information for our parish records.

All families must attend our Baptismal Preparation Class.  If this is not your first child then and it has been more than 4 years since your last class we ask that you attend the class again. Classes are held once per quarter and are held in the Parish Center. Class dates are posted in the bulletin.

We will need to receive (scans via email or regular mail) the sponsor certificates from the godparents (they would obtain these from their home parishes) before the baptism is held. If they are members of OLC, then please let Diane Rinkacs know the approximate date of confirmation and full name so that we can validate according to our parish records.

For visiting families:
