Infant Baptism
-
We ask that you have your infant baptized as soon as possible after birth. The Church defines an infant as one who has not yet reached the age of reason, usually under the age of 7. Please remember, you must be a registered parishioner at one of the parishes within the Eastside Family of Parishes to have your child baptized. If you do not belong to one of the parishes, we are open to baptizing your child with your pastor's permission. Here are the steps to having your child baptised:
Step 1: Call Your Parish Office
The very first step to having your child baptized is to call your parish to schedule the actual date for the baptism.- For St. Anthony Chapel, call (513) 271-0920 ext. 10.
- For St. Cecilia Parish, call (513) 871-5757 ext. 202.
- For St. Mary Parish, call (513) 321-1207 ext 8400.
Step 2: Register for a Baptismal Preparation Class (for 1st time parents)
After calling your parish to schedule your child's baptism, 1st time parents and parents who have not taken this preparation class previously must register and attend the Baptismal Preparation Class. Baptism preparation is held regionally once a month at the St. Mary Campus in Hyde Park in the Seton Center (building found to the left of the church by the playground) at 11:30 AM. Please see the registration dates below to find a class that works for your schedule. Please fill out the digital form below to register for one of the Baptism preparation classes.
