Jordan Conference
Jordan Conference is our way for educating young parents before choosing Baptism for their child.
Baptism of infants and young children are celebrated in a group setting at 1:30pm on the second and fourth Sundays of each month except during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Prior to the Baptism, parents must attend a Jordan Conference, which is approximately a one hour session held at 7:00pm on the first Wednesday of each month. This class is required for all first time parents and for those parents whose last child was baptized more than four years ago. The session describes the Sacrament of Baptism and explains the various Baptism Rites. The Jordan Conference Registration Form may be completed and then emailed to Mary Longo or by calling the Parish Office. Baptisms will be scheduled only by calling the Parish Office.
