This ministry provides parish welcome and hospitality to families bringing their children to the Sacrament of Baptism. This ministry, comprised of primarily of couples, attends the one-hour pre-baptismal parent meeting on a rotating basis, usually once every other month. As part of the meeting, the host couple gives a short (7 – 10 minute) witness talk about their experience with the sacrament in their own family. This ministry requires a minimal time commitment; approximately two hours per year. It provides a valuable service to families at the very beginning of their faith journey. A pinnacle moment in the religious life of a family, the faith community celebrates with joy when children are initiated through the waters of life.
