Baptism Ministry

Baptism Ministry serves the parish community by facilitating preparation classes for the parents and godparents 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 baptism 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.

We are currently seeking volunteers to build this ministry. If you are a practicing Catholic with a desire to serve others and would like more information regarding this ministry, please contact Araceli Rodríguez at (714) 637-4360 or arodriguez@stnorbertchurch.org.
