Baptism Preparation Class

Attend a Baptism Preparation Class. Classes are held on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the parish basement. Both parents are encouraged to attend, but it's ok if only one parent can make it. You are welcome to bring your child(ren) along. To register for a Baptism class, please email Katie Ryzenga at kryzenga@stmatthew.net. 
*****PLEASE NOTE -- Due to the Covid 19 Restrictions, in-person classes are not currently being held. Please contact Katie Ryzenga to make alternate arrangements.

Previously Attended Baptism Preparation Class?
If you have already attended a Baptism Preparation Class at Saint Matthew, you do not need to attend again. However, because we take seriously the call for all families to participate in ongoing formation, we ask that you view or listen to one of the following recorded presentations:

Option 1: Audio Presentation: "Changed Forever" by Fr. Mike Schmitz 


Option 2: Video Presentations from the series "Reborn: You, Your Child, and the Heart of Baptism" by the Augustine Institute
(Choose one episode)
Session 1: "A New Creation: The Mystery of Baptism"
Session 2: "Entering the Mystery: The Rite Explained"
Session 3: "Nurturing the Life of Grace: Called to Mission"
"The Mission to Love: Seven Keys to Catholic Parenting"
"The Gift of Godparents: More Than Cards and Presents"



All of these presentations can be accessed through St. Matthew's Formed account at stmatthew.formed.org. If this is your first time using Formed, you'll need to create a username (usually your email address) and password. Once you sign in, search by title or by subject "Baptism."

After you listen or watch, please submit this form: Baptism Response Form.
