The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated in the church monthly, in English on the first Saturday and in Spanish on the second Saturday.

Baptismal preparation classes are offered for parents of children to be baptized and for their godparents.  The classes occur one Saturday a month and preregistration is required.  Parents and prospective godparents are required to attend a class unless they have attended a class in the last 3 years.  Expecting parents should contact the parish office, at 541-342-1139, as early as possible.
