CHILDREN INFANT - 7 YEARS OLD
Congratulations on your decision to have your child baptized. Your first step is to contact Deacon Dennis Popadak so that he may gather the necessary information. He may be reached at 207-553-2023 or at dennis.popadak@portlanddiocese.org. This planning can begin before your child is born.
CHILDREN 8 YEARS OLD & UP
Children age 8 and up are offered a more extensive preparation. For more information, contact Kim Lovett at 553-7042 or at kim.lovett@portlanddiocese.org.
ADULTS
Adults who are seeking Baptism in the Catholic Church receive preparation through a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). Contact Kim Lovett at 553-7042 or at kim.lovett@portlanddiocese.org.
In preparation of your child's baptism, we ask parents or guardians to attend a baptismal preparation session with members of the formation team in the parish. All parents are required to watch the two "REBORN" videos (below) and complete the worksheets before attending the session. Godparents are encouraged to attend. Please contact Kim Lovett for details at 553-7042 or kim.lovett@poprtlanddiocese.org.
