It will bring us great joy at Our Lady of Fatima to welcome your child into our faith family. The Sacrament of Baptism is the entrance into the Catholic faith and often called "The Door to the Church." Children ages newborn to six years are received through infant baptism. Those seven years and older are received through the Rite of Christian Initiation.

Parents desiring infant baptism for their children must be registered members of our parish. If you are not yet a member, we invite you to learn more about joining our parish.

Parents must also attend an Infant Baptism Class at Our Lady of Fatima Parish with the Deacon or Priest who will be baptizing the baby. We have designed our Infant Baptism Class to help you, as parents and godparents, fulfill your canonical obligation to prepare yourselves for the child's baptism. Both parents need to attend unless a preparation class has been taken within the past 2 years, or you have baptized 3 or more children in the Catholic faith.

To signup for the next Infant Baptism Class at Our Lady of Fatima, please contact Deacon Joe Hawley, 303-233-6236.
