Like many dioceses in the United States, ours requires parents to participate in baptism preparation before the Baptism of their children. This class is offered at AGP monthly, on a Sunday, at 1:30 PM at St. Mary, Help of Christians Church. 

We recommend that this class is completed and the sacrament scheduled during your pregnancy so that the child can be baptized soon after birth. Parents must only take the Baptism class once every five years.

Once you have completed the online Baptism Request Form, the Parish Office will contact you to register you for a Baptism Prep Class and schedule a date for your child's baptism.

Upcoming Baptism Prep Classes:
