We celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism at our Sunday Masses. Families may choose any of the three weekend Mass options on most weekends throughout the year (excluding major celebrations such as Easter or Christmas). There is a part in the baptism early on when the presider says “This Christian Community welcomes you”. How wonderful it will be to have a large representation of the community welcome these children into our faith and into our parish. It is also a great sign to the community of our continued growth.

 

Expectant and new parents are asked to call the Parish Office (330-533-6839) to schedule 3-4 months before the date on which they wish to have their child baptized.

Pre-baptism class is required for:

  • First time parents OR

  • First baptisms at Saint Michael

 

Pre-baptism classes are offered monthly. See more information HERE.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION IN THE PARISH

 

The Parish is the central community of faith expressed and lived out by the believing and worshiping faithful.  All sacraments, especially Sacraments of Initiation rightfully are celebrated within the context of the parish.  All persons whether enrolled in a parish faith formation process, a catholic school or a home-based catechetical process are expected to be prepared for and celebrate sacraments in the parish to which they belong and where they worship on weekends.  Please be aware of the parish of belonging and  respect the expectations of the diocese and the particular parish.
