Registration Form
Preparation: Baptisms for infants and
children less that 7 years of age are held four times per year on predetermined
weekends during the regularly scheduled Masses. Parents are required to
attend one hour-long preparation class. See schedule above.
Godparents
are welcomed but not required to attend. Please contact Jean DeLaney, Coordinator of Children's
and Youth Ministry, for more information at
jean@saintclarechurch.org or 503.244.1037, ext. 104.
Exceptions to this process:
If the child is in danger of death, Baptism will be celebrated immediately, with a commitment from the parents to participate in the next Infant Baptism preparation class.
If the parents are members of, and have been prepared in, another parish, but wish for family reasons to have the Baptism celebrated here, the Baptism will be celebrated on one of the appointed infant baptism Sundays. St. Clare needs a letter of permission from the family's pastor. Private celebrations of the sacrament will be possible only for grave pastoral reasons and with the permission of the pastor. |
