    Sacramental Preparation

    Infant Baptism

    This preparation is for families seeking to Baptize their infant or child of 7 years or younger.

    If you have any questions about this process, please call the office at (434-973-4381) or contact Therese Gibson (English) or Bryan Vides (Español) regarding the prep classes.

    Step 1: Register your child.

    Step 2: Attend a one-time baptism prep class & prepare your godparent forms.

    (Godparents are welcome, however their attendance is not required).

    Formulario de declaración para padrinos de bautismo de infantes (Español).

    • English classes are on the first Saturday of each month at 9:00AM in the Conference Room. After registering, the Baptism Coordinator will contact you to confirm the class date. For more information on classes, please contact Therese.
    • Las clases de español son el último jueves de cada mes a las 6:30PM en la sala de conferencias. Después de registrarse, el Coordinador de Bautismo se comunicará con usted para confirmar la fecha de la clase. Para obtener más información sobre las clases, comuníquese con Bryan.

    Step 3: After attending class, make an appointment to speak to a priest. Bring your signed godparent forms with you!

    We celebrate within mass infant baptisms 4 times per year, every 3 months.

    OCIA/OICA: Baptism for Children of Catechetical Age (7+)

    (Formerly RCIA/RICA)

    Those children who are of school age and have not been baptized are invited to participate in catechesis designed specifically for children. Parents along with the children, attend special learning sessions; sponsors welcomed. Children should be enrolled in classroom instruction AND complete all additional forms.  Children will receive Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. They will prepare for First Reconciliation during the remaining classes.

    If you have questions, please contact Missy Bishop at missyb@incarnationparish.org.

    First Reconciliation and First Eucharist

    Children wishing to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (which typically occurs in 2nd grade) should be enrolled in our Christian formation program. If the child attends a Catholic School or has appropriate home school course loads, attendance through the parish for Sacrament specific study is also required (contact us to discuss). There is an additional fee for Sacramental preparation materials.

    Parent’s Part:

    *Participation in Adult Faith Formation opportunities, to grow in faith, alongside the journey(s) of their child(ren), offered by the parish and/or diocese.

    *Attendance at formative meetings on each sacrament prior to each celebration, facilitated by our priests.  Topics include the Theology and Spirituality of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Theology and Spirituality of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

    If you have questions, please contact Missy Bishop at missyb@incarnationparish.org.
