St. Mel Office Of Faith Formation at 154-24 26 Avenue, Flushing, NY 11354 US - Baptizing infants

Through Baptism, your child is a member of the Catholic Church; part of the Body of Christ. Like the early disciples, we believe strongly in community life centering around the Eucharist, our source of nourishment. Even though babies cannot participate fully at the celebration of the Mass, your family's presence is important. The sooner your child is exposed to the rituals and parish community, the sooner he/she will adapt to this new environment. If your family establishes good Christian routines early on, they will be a source of strength and help to you throughout life. Baptisms are held the 4th Sunday of each month. Parents must be interviewed and attend one preparation class. Please call the rectory (718) 886-0881 to schedule an interview.
