The Baptism Host Ministry is devoted to providing a warm response to families who have chosen to bring their children to the Sacrament of Baptism. This ministry includes couples who take turns attending the one hour pre-baptismal parent meeting. The host couples give a short talk about the spiritual experience of their children's baptism and attend the communal baptism the following month. You can expect to spend approximately two hours a year ministering. We welcome men and women willing to share their spiritual experience.

The Christian Initiation process is a sharing of the Catholic Christian faith with unbaptized individuals (catechumen), baptized non-Catholics and baptized Catholics (candidates) who have not received First Communion. It is a team approach fostering faith and community. The curriculum includes a study of the Sacraments, Scripture, Trinity, morality, and social justice. Classes begin in September and conclude at Pentecost. Volunteers are needed to be sponsors, agreeing to walk the faith journey with the candidates and catechumens. You will be asked to attend Liturgy and catechesis with the person you are sponsoring. Meetings take place after the 8:00am Sunday Mass and usually finish at 10:30am.

Each of us is called to nurture our relationship with God through the faithful reading and understanding of His Word.   Groups meet throughout the year to study how God has revealed His Love for us in the past, leading to a discussion about how we can see God working in our lives today.   Groups may choose to study a book of the Bible, a section of the Catholic Catechism, a book or novel containing a Christian theme,   or various other Christian topics.   There are several Faith Study Groups in session throughout the year, meeting once a week at various times during the day and evening.   Men and women who are interested in exploring their faith in a supportive, nurturing atmosphere are welcome at any time.   No previous classes or experience is necessary.
