SCHEDULING A BAPTISM...
Typically baptisms can be scheduled on any Sunday after the
11 am Mass. However, baptisms can also be scheduled at other times; even occasionally during the Mass with prior approval and arrangements.
A sacrament is not private, so if other families request
the same date, there will be more than one
family present for the baptism.
Families who have not attended a baptism class are asked to do so prior to scheduling the baptism.
To schedule a baptism class please call the office
(717) 848 - 2007 or fill out the online registration form at the bottom of the page. Your responses to the online registration form also helps us to update the parish census.
Since deacons are ordained ministers, they will be scheduled to assist Father Bateman with Baptisms. Baptisms can be scheduled at other times with Father Bateman, Deacon Michael, and Deacon Jim depending on their availability and the church's availability.
Is there a cost for baptism?
There is never a cost for the administration of a sacrament.
It is customary for families to offer a small donatation to
either the Church or to the one officating,
but again this is not a requirement.
