Weddings: Contact Fr. Diehm (563-870-4041) at least one year in advance of planning a wedding.
​
Baptisms: March class will be held online. Contact Jim or Cindy Roberts (563-870-4428) before planning or setting a Baptism date. Due to the high number of Baptisms in the Pastorate, classes fill quickly so allow several months to be scheduled into a class. All parents planning a Baptism need attend a Baptism class (the first Wednesday of each month, except on holidays). Baptisms typically do not take place during Advent or Lent.
