IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Because of COVID-19 restrictions and health concerns, all regularly scheduled baptism dates and corresponding preparation sessions have been cancelled until further notice. Consequently, we have revised the way we are conducting baptisms.
If you want to have your child baptized, please contact Sue Alter in our Religious Education Office at 201-337-5537. She will take down all the information you need to provide, and then arrangements will be made for a private ceremony with the Pastor.
If a baptism is needed in the case of emergency (e.g., danger of death), please contact Fr. Tom Lipnicki, our pastor, at 201-337-7596, ext. 311.
Parents preparing for Baptism are asked to be registered in the parish. If you are not, please click here.

“Father, look now with love upon your Church, and unseal for her the fountain of baptism. By the power of the Spirit give to the water of this font the grace of your Son. You created us in your own likeness: cleanse us from sin in a new birth to innocence by water and the Spirit.” (from The Rite of Baptism)
