On Monday, November 25, 2019 a Baptismal Preparation Class will be held at St. John the Baptist, 1501 Virginia Ave., Monaca, in the Pastoral Center at 6:30PM. This class is a one-time requirement for parents wishing to have their child baptized. Topics to be covered include: the Sacrament of Baptism, the Rite of Baptism, and the need for suitable godparents who regularly practice the faith to serve as worthy role models and mentors for the child in the ways of the Faith. Please do not choose godparents until you have familiarized yourself with the necessary qualifications. To register, call the St. John the Baptist Pastoral Center Office at 724.775.3940 ext. 3. The next class will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Hopewell Township in December.
