Baptism for infants
or children under the age of seven
usually takes place on the fourth Sunday of the month at 12:00 noon. 
On some occasions, baptisms are held during the 9:00am or 11:00am masses. 
Private baptisms may be arranged under certain circumstances. 
Baptisms are not held during Lent except in emergencies.

Baptism: A new life with God

In order to properly prepare your family for your child's baptism,
parents and godparents are required to take one pre-baptism class,
held on the first Thursday of the month, at the Parish Center. 
At least one godparent must be a practicing Catholic.   

If you wish to have your baby or young child baptized at St. Bede,
please contact Moira Arjani at moira@bede.org or 818-949-4323
