Baptisms are celebrated within the context of the Holy Eucharist on the days set forth by the Book of Common Prayer which are: Easter Vigil;

Day of Pentecost; All Saints Day or the Sunday after All Saints Day and the 1st Sunday of Epiphany. Other dates will be scheduled with the approval of the rector. 

Godparents do not have to be Episcopalian, but they must be Christians. 

NO flash photographs are permitted during the ceremony. Arrangements may be made with the clergy for pictures to be taken before or after the service. 

Please make an appointment with the clergy to begin conversation about the process of Baptism at least 4 weeks ahead of a prospective date.
