SAINT BARTHOLOMEW CATHOLIC CHURCH

Baptism Preparation Class for Parents, Godparents, and Sponsors

St. Bartholomew is happy that you have chosen our Church to have your child baptized. In the waters of baptism, we become members of the Body of Christ--God's People; we are configured to Jesus Christ the High Priest and share in his prophetic, kingly, and priestly mission.

If, after reading this page and attending Pre-Baptism class, you desire to have your child baptized at St. Bartholomew’s, or you have additional questions, please, call the parish office at 501-372-4682.
