Baptisms: We are now scheduling October classes. August and September classes are full. 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. Baptisms typically do not take place during Advent or Lent. ALL BAPTISM AND WEDDING CLASSES WILL BE HELD IN PERSON STARTING IN AUGUST.
RCIA: If you are interested, or know someone in our Pastorate who is interested, in becoming Catholic, contact Jim or Cindy at 563-870-4428. Classes begin in September.
