Once you have submitted your registration form for Baptism (above), our Pastoral Minister will personally call you to touch base and set a date. If this is your FIRST BAPTISM with us we require that you complete Baptismal preparation. Since present circumstances do not allow us to gather in person for preparation, we ask that you complete the following ONLINE preparation below. Our Pastoral Minister will give you a second call via Skype, Zoom, Teams, or phone to virtually meet with you, go over any questions you may have, and walk you through the particulars of Baptism during our present circumstances here at Ste. Anne. If this is your second or third child (etc...) being baptized it is still recommended that you complete the prep below or at the very least watch the 2nd video "Soul Bath" with your other children. You are welcome to have a conversation with our Pastoral Minister regarding the baptismal process if you like, but it is not required.
Your dreams for your child are important. Take a moment to each write down your answers to the following - and then share them with your spouse.
After watching the second video take a moment to discuss the following with your spouse:
Discuss the following with your spouse:
1. If you could send a message back through time, what's the ONE THING you would tell the 18-year-old version of yourself?
Write a letter to your child: (both of you)
2. Write a letter to give to your child when they turn 18. Describe what it was like when you first saw their face, your feelings, your dreams, your hopes for them. Describe the kind of parent you hope you will be for them. Take your time and store it somewhere special so you don't lose it!
