  • BAPTISM

    Baptism is the first Sacrament of Christian Initiation, bringing the baptized individual into the family of God by washing away Original Sin. Baptisms are usually celebrated on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. Parents are asked to attend a Baptismal Prep Class before scheduling the Baptism of their child.

    Baptism Guide for Parents

    At the Beaver Valley parishes, please contact Christ Patsch, Director of Early Childhood Formation at cpatsch@greatgrouping.org or (724) 318-8403 to schedule a time for the class. After the Baptism class, parents will contact Deacon Tony Giordano at agiordano@diopitt.org or (724) 266-6565 to schedule the Baptism.

    At Saints John & Paul, please contact Betsy Shulkosky at bshulkosky@greatgouping.org or (724) 935-2104 x234 to schedule your child’s Baptism.

    Baptism Prep Classes

    Classes are offered for families who have never attended one or for whom it has been four years since attending a class. They are offered evey other month on a Sunday immediately following the 9:00 AM Mass at Saints John & Paul.

    Older Child or Adult Baptisms

    If you have an older child whom you would like to be baptized at the Beaver Valley parishes, please contact Christ Patsch, Director of Early Childhood Formation at cpatsch@greatgrouping.org or (724) 318-8403.

If you are an adult who has not previously been baptized and wish to be baptized in the Catholic Church, please contact (Beaver Valley) Deacon Tony Giordano at agiordano@diopitt.org or (724) 266-6565, or (Saints John & Paul) Karen Walker, Pastoral Minister at kwalker@greatrgouping.org or (724) 935-2104 x223 to learn more about our RCIA program.
