We welcome families with children and look forward to celebrating your child’s baptism!  If you not been an active member of either parish, we ask that you formally join (https://oratorychurch.org/registration) and begin worshipping reguarly for three months so you get to know the community.  After that, we would be happy to begin the process of baptism for your child.
