Congratulations! 

The parish family of Our Lady of Good Counsel joins the staff in asking God’s blessings on you and your growing family. Baptisms are usually held on the 1st and 3rd weekend each month on Saturdays at 12:00 noon & Sundays at 12:45pm. We request that you and your guests arrive a few minutes early to ensure that the ceremony can start on time.  

In preparation for this joyous event, we also ask that you complete the following:

• A Baptismal Preparation course is required for all first time parents. 
• Also, those who are new to the parish, or who have been away from the faith are required to attend.  In this class parents will come to better understand the Rite of Baptism and will discuss the importance of family and faith. 
• A Letter of Good Standing must be provided for at least one of the Godparents, from the parish where they are currently a member.  Please keep in mind that at least one of the Godparents must have completed the Sacraments of Initiation. (Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation)
• Deacon Marc will reach out to you once your date has been confirmed and schedule your class.

An offering of $100 is suggested.  If you are able to do so, you may include your offering with your completed paperwork. 

If you have any questions or if you would like to receive a Baptism Registration Form,
please contact Jennifer Herd by completing the form below, or you can dowload it using the link.

Your completed registration form should be returned to the office as soon as possible,
once it is received we will contact you to confirm the date for your celebration.
