Registration Form: Baptism of a Child Form — Appendix 603A
Deacon Arden will complete this registration form together with you during your meeting. It is no necessary to complete this in advance.
If you do complete this form in advance, remember to leave the signature section blank, as Deacon Arden will need to witness your signatures.
There are no baptisms during the seasons of Lent and Advent.
At Corpus Christi, we typically hold sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist twice per year; once in the Spring, and once in the Fall. Consider having your child receive both of these sacraments together.
Registration for Confirmation Preparation is closed for 2024.
Once details are available for 2025, the schedule will be available here.
