Baptismal Catechesis

The St. Mary of the Hills community congratulates you as you welcome your new child.

The very fact that you asked to have your child baptized is a sure sign that you recognize the importance of God in your life. Your child’s baptism is only the beginning of a new life in which you will grow closer to one another in the family and closer to God.

Baptisms are celebrated at 1:30 P.M. on the last Sunday of the month. Please contact the rectory in advance to schedule your child's baptism.

We look forward to welcoming your child into our community of faith.
