The Baptism Preparation Class Ministry is open to individuals and married couples that wish to share their time & talent in a rewarding manner.

The Baptism Preparation Class ministry informs parents and Godparents of children that are to be baptized at St. Thomas More of the theological, parental and community aspects of the celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism in the Catholic Church. Ministers are encouraged to witness to their faith, family traditions, share experiences in raising children, in raising children and godchildren in the Faith, and provide guidance for choosing godparents. Baptism preparation classes are held the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, at 1:15 pm in the Family Center. Baptisms are held on Sunday afternoons throughout the year except during the season of Lent and the 5th Sunday of a month when it occurs.
