Congratulations on the birth of your child!  Or, as an adult, welcome to a faith-filled community that eagerly anticipates your communion with the Church.

Baptism at St. Lucy’s –  Parents are encouraged to initiate preparation for baptism prior to the child’s birth.  At that time a meeting with our Pastor will provide instruction and information.     It is expected that parent(s) are registered and active parishioners in the Parish. Please contact Father Codega for more information and prepare for the Baptism of your child.

Godparents / Sponsors

At least one godparent is necessary.  There may be two godparenst (sponsors):  one man and one woman.

“For the grace of Baptism to unfold, the parents’ help is important. So too is the role of the godfather and godmother, who must be firm believers, able and ready to help the newly baptized – child or adult – on the road of Christian life. Their task is a truly ecclesial function (officium). The whole ecclesial community bears some responsibility for the development and safeguarding of the grace given at Baptism.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1255)

The requirements for godparents are:

• be not less than sixteen years of age.
• be a Catholic who has received the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
• be registered and active members of their parish.  Regular participant at Sunday Liturgy.
• be living in conformity with Catholic morals and in good standing with the Catholic Church (if married, married according to the laws of the Church).
• may not be the mother or father of the person to be baptized.
• they must obtain a Sponsor Certificate (must have Church Seal), attesting to their fulfilling the stated requirements, from the parish in which they are a registered member.

Registration for the 2024-2025 program.  
Please Fill out the form below.  There will be no registration / tuition fees for this year's program

Students enrolled in Catholic Middle Schools do not need to attend Faith Formation classes UNLESS they are preparing for Sacraments,  ie: 2nd Grade for First Holy Communion, 6/7th grade for the 2-year Confirmation Program. 

Individual classes for all grades will take place between the Sunday morning Masses 9:00 – 10:15AM.  It is expected this will make it most convenient - after all, it’s also God’s commandment - for families to attend either the 8:00am Mass or the 10:30am Mass.  (Of course, arrangements will be made for situations that may interfere with the schedule of classes, for instance shared custody of children with an out-of-town parent, etc.)

Proven statistically, faith formation (even Catholic Schooling) without weekly Mass attendance is time wasted when it comes to continued practice of the Faith.  On the contrary, faith formation programs including the celebration of Sunday Mass only enhances the likelihood of life long faith participation

When you had your children baptized you made a promise to raise them in the practice of the faith.  Thank you, for fulfilling this responsibility and inviting us to assist you along the way

First Holy Communion classes will be for academic grades 1 and 2.
Grade 2 students will receive the Sacrament in the spring of 2025

This years academic grades 3 and 4, 5 and 6, will meet together on Sunday Mornings

Confirmation is a two year preparation program.  This year’s academic grades 7 and 8 will receive the Sacrament in the spring of 2026

If you have older students who have not yet been Confirmed and/or Baptized please speak with Father directly for Sacramental preparations
