Baptism Preparation Class

The next Baptism Preparation sessions are offered every month on Tuesdays from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.  There is no fee but registration is required. Please contact us at office@sjcmmd.org or call 301-663-0907 to register for the next session.

Before a Baptism can be scheduled, a completed Baptism registration form must be submitted to the office. More information on scheduling a Baptism can be found on our website at the following link: Baptism Registration

Please note below a couple of updates to our Baptism program:

We are introducing two changes to our procedures which will take effect in November.

        1. We will begin offering our Baptism prep classes on a monthly basis on the first Tuesday of each month. They are currently still taking place virtually.
        2. We are introducing “communal Baptisms” once a month on the 3rd Saturday at 10:00 am meaning multiple baptisms can be scheduled at the same time. We will not be offering private Baptisms on these days.

Please note that parents must have attended a Baptismal Preparation Class within the past four years before scheduling a baptism and are encouraged to take the prep class before their child is born.
