Baptism
 

Baptism is the sacrament by which the Christian Community welcomes new members.  We at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish have a program of preparation for parents who wish to have children baptized in Christ. We ask that you call the Parish Office at (908) 889-2100 after the baby is born for more information concerning the program.  An interview with one of the priests is required to register for Baptism.  The cut-off date for the interview and registration is one week prior to the scheduled class.  Both baptism instruction and Baptisms are scheduled for 1:30 pm in the Church.  Sponsors must obtain a sponsor certificate from their parish.

There are no Baptisms during Lent.  Lent for 2012 begins with Ash Wednesday on February 22nd and ends with Easter on April 8th.
