Baptism
Please call Jim Hogan to begin the process of getting your child Baptized at 440-564-5805 x204.
At St. Helen we attempt to remain as flexible as possible, we can schedule a Baptism during any of the Weekend Masses or at 12:30pm on Sundays.
All Baptisms require that the parents and sponsors attend an information class prior to the Baptism of your first child. The classes are held twice a year, once every six months at St. Helen although you can attend a class at any other parish in the diocese. See the calendar or bulletin for the dates at St. Helen.
The arrangements for the date and time are coordinated through the Parish Office and must be made at least three weeks prior to your chosen date. You can request a specific celebrant; however, scheduling a date will be influenced by the priest's schedule.
Please review the criteria for sponsors prior to choosing them, it may help prevent some embarrassing moments. Your chosen sponsor/s (God Parent/s), if not a member of St. Helen, will be required to produce a sponsor certificate from their home parish prior to your child's Baptism. If the sponsor certificate is not available at the time of Baptism the ceremony may not be performed.
For further information about children in school that have not yet been Baptized and would like to make their First Communion please call the PSR Office 564-440-564-5805 (x205)
