Baptism
Birth to Age Seven: Children from birth to age seven will be baptized according to the Rite of Baptism for Children. Parents requesting baptism for their children should normally be registered parishioners of Our Lady of La Salette.
A preparation session for parents and godparents is required. Please contact the parish offices for more information at least two months before the month of baptism.
Age Eight to Age Fourteen: Baptism and the other sacraments of initiation for these children who have not received the sacraments at the traditional age or who have been baptized in another Christian community will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
The decision to use the Rite of Baptism for Children or the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults will be made in consultation with the pastor, the appropriate members of the pastoral team and the staff of the religious education department. The formation department will provide catechesis for these children.
Age Fifteen and Older: These young people and adults will be prepared for the sacraments of initiation according to the norms of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Formation will take place through parish catechetical processes and will be unique for each person.
