Baptismal class for parents and godparents is required. We have class every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month in Spanish at 5 pm
in one of the portables that are behind the parish hall. You are required to assist one class, class is two hours long. Children are not allowed to come. We ask that you arrive at least 5-10 minutes early or on time, if not you will be marked not present and will have to assist another class.
Baptisms are every Saturday
and schedule may vary. Holy Saturday and Saturday in which falls the day of our Patron St. Francis of Assisi we do not have baptisms. If Christmas and New Year fall on a Saturday there will be no baptisms on those two days.
If parents or godparents attend class at another Catholic church, you must bring proof
that they attended a Baptism class (the names of those who assisted the baptismal class must be visible).
If the parents or sponsors belong to another parish community, they should get permission from their parish to be baptized in this church.
No date will be set or scheduled until parents and godparents have brought in all their documents and fulfilled their baptismal class.
If the child to be baptized is 6 years of age, or older, s/he must meet some with the Missionary Sisters for pre-baptismal classes and you can call them for an appointment at (650) 322-6881.
