The Holy Sacraments

Sacrament of Baptism

After attending a preparation class, parents may schedule their child's Baptism. Baptisms usually take place on the last Sunday of the month. Parents must be registered parishioners and should call the parish office at (414) 645-5623 to register for the classes.

Adults seeking Baptism and/or entry into the Catholic Church are invited to participate in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults). Please call the parish office at (414) 645-5623 for more information.
