Baptism Ministry

For More Information 

The Baptism Ministry currently consists of two married couples.  The coordinators serve the parish community by facilitating preparation classes for the parents of children to be baptized.  These classes are held once a month and they prepare the parents with knowledge of the sacrament to enable them to foster growth in their own faith and that of their children.

On the day of the infant baptism, the coordinators serve as host/hostess for the baptism.  They prepare the church for the celebration with the necessary items required for the baptism.  They greet the families and friends as they arrive, seat them in their assigned place in the church and answer any questions or concerns they might have regarding the ceremony.  The coordinators are also there to assist the priest or deacon as needed during the ceremony.

​If you are a practicing Catholic with a desire to serve others and would like more information regarding this ministry, please contact the parish office at (562) 296-9000.

Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all men, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
