Baptism
To have your child baptized at Newman, you must be a registered parishioner and participate in one catechetical session. Please download and fill out the Baptism Preparation Worksheet and email it to Charles Ochoa at [email protected]. Catechetical Sessions are offered every other month, and attendance is required for all parents prior to baptism of the child. The best time to attend the class is during early pregnancy. For more information, please contact the parish office.
Becoming Catholic (OCIA)
Order of Christian Initiation for Adults assists adults who are interested in becoming Catholic or returning to practicing the Catholic faith. OCIA sessions meet weekly throughout the year. The sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation are celebrated at the Easter Vigil. Team members (resident and student parishioners) volunteer in a variety of ways with the OCIA process. They may assist with teaching, as sponsors, with rituals or in various other ways. To learn more about participating in OCIA, you can attend an inquiry session on most second Sundays of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the Disciples Room.
Reconciliation
First Communion
First Eucharist preparation begins in the second grade. We do ask all families who want to participate in First Eucharist preparations to complete First Reconciliation preparations as well. Contact Emily at
