Baptism

Baptism is the entry way into the life of Jesus Christ and His Church. If you would like to have your infant or child baptized, please contact the parish office or Fr. Ben directly. 

If this is your first child to be baptized at Our Lady of the Visitation, we will setup a Baptism preparation class/meeting with Fr. Ben, and go over both the Rite of Baptism and some discussion on how to help you raise your child as a disciple of Christ in our modern world. We will discuss some basic guidelines/requirements for godparents as well, and after the meeting, we will work with you to schedule the date and time of your Baptism (**if you are an adult and looking to be Baptized or become Catholic, please contact us as well!)  We are very excited to meet you and get to know you if we do not know you already in our parish family! Congratulations on the birth of your child, and you are in our prayers.
