Sacraments - Baptism for Children & Becoming Catholic

This program is for children who are 6 years and older, who need baptism or are considering becoming Catholic.  It usually takes 2 years for them to prepare for their sacrament(s) and this program is often very customized.

We place high priority on the child's individual faith journey and providing them with clear church teaching, community experiences, and prayer. Since this is usually a smaller group, we often overlap their classes with the programs of other children their age. That way they become more connected with the larger community of St. Stephens' children.
