School Age Baptism
“Let the little children come to me.” – Matthew 19:14
Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of faith. Through this sacrament, we are welcomed into the Church, cleansed of original sin, and become children of God. For children beyond infancy, Baptism preparation includes additional formation and a deeper understanding of what it means to begin this journey with Christ.
At St. Peter’s, we offer a preparation program for children in Grades 2–5 who have not yet been baptized. Older children (grades 6 and up) follow a different program, which you can learn more about on our Sacraments for Teens page.
How Preparation Works
Our School Aged Baptism program runs in conjunction with our First Reconciliation/First Communion & Confirmation programs.
Our combined programs for First Reconciliation/First Communion and Confirmation typically run from fall to spring and includes a blend of in-person gatherings and home-based learning.
Our sessions this year will be offered on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm until 7:30pm.
