Baptism Calendar

We offer a few options for celebrating this first, most important sacrament.

Most baptisms at Saint Clement are celebrated at 1pm every Sunday of the month except the last (the schedule may vary, so please call). The 1pm baptism rite is a beautiful ceremony with up to eight families bringing their children forward to be baptized. It lasts about 40 minutes and is not a full Mass. After a brief Liturgy of the Word and a short homily, the families and all their guests are called to gather around the baptismal font to witness the baptisms of their children.
Another choice is to have your child baptized during one of our regular weekend liturgies. Baptisms may be celebrated during predetermined Masses on Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the liturgical schedule. We invite up to two children to be baptized at a Mass.
A third option is for families who want to have their child baptized by a priest or deacon who is not part of the Saint Clement staff. Baptisms with a visiting priest or deacon are usually scheduled at 2pm on Sunday afternoons. This option is not available the last Sunday of each month.
