Arrange a Baptism

For a child:

Congratulations on the upcoming Baptism of your child! 

If this is your first child, you and your spouse will need to attend a Baptismal Preparation Class (held on one Tuesday and one Wednesday evening a month at 7:00 PM) and meet with one of the priests for a half hour meeting.  To arrange both, please call the parish office at (847) 669-3137, ext. 8602 any time between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.  There will be a sign-in sheet at the Baptismal Preparation Class and you need to sign in so we know you attended.  After you have both met with the priest and attended the Baptismal Preparation Class, you need to call the parish office again to schedule the Baptismal date.  Once the Baptism is scheduled, you will receive a letter from the parish office confirming the date and time of the Baptism.

If this is not your first child, but  your older children were not baptized at St. Mary's, please call the parish office at (847) 669-3137, ext. 8602 to arrange a half hour meeting with one of the priests.  After you have met with the priest, you need to call the parish office again to schedule the Baptismal date.  Once the Baptism is scheduled, you will receive a letter from the parish office confirming the date and time of the Baptism.

If this is not your first child but at least one of your older children was baptized at St. Mary's, please call the parish office at (847) 669-3137, ext. 8602 to arrange the Baptismal date.  Once the Baptism is scheduled, you will receive a letter from the parish office confirming the date and time of the Baptism.
