Sacramental Preparation and Appointments

 

Infant Baptism

St. Agnes Parish requires parents of the child to be baptized to attend one class before the Baptism. The Baptism date for your child is scheduled after completion of this class.

Class is held once a month in the St. Agnes Ministry Center. The evening begins at 7:00 P.M., lasting for approximately two hours.

Baptisms usually take place on Sunday at a Sunday Baptism Celebration.

For further information, please contact Religious Education Department at (925) 689-0838.


Communion to Sick and Homebound

The first year involves participation in a non-sacramental class, and the following year students are involved in sacramental preparation.

Confirmation is a one-year process open to teens who are in their freshman through senior year of high school.
