Infants through 6th graders may be baptized at any of our five Baptism services offered throughout the year. Parents and godparents are required to attend a Baptism preparation class - held each Spring and Fall on Zoom, so out-of-town family can join - before the service. Adults exploring baptism, or wishing to recommit their lives to Christ, are welcomed into The Catechumenate: Living the Baptized Life. To begin the process, fill out a Baptism application on our website or Contact Mtr. Maureen Martin at mmartin@christchurchgp.org.

From Atrium I onward, children come to know the Eucharist as our central shared ritual, celebrating God's love for us and for one another. Every other year, children in 2nd grade and up go a step deeper through Enriching the Sacraments - a dedicated program designed to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Eucharist and Reconciliation.
Enriching the Sacraments takes the form of four Parent/Child Retreat gatherings- parent and child attend together and a keepsake workbook to complete together at home.
Enriching the Sacraments begins each spring of an odd-numbered year (2027, 2029…) and culminates in a celebration on Pentecost of that same spring (and yes, our gals are welcome to wear their pretty white dresses).

Confirmation - a young person's mature, public affirmation of their own faith - is prepared for within Camino, our high school small-group ministry, through discussion, study, and the Teen Retreat experience.
Formal Confirmation Prep begins each fall of an odd-numbered year (2027, 2029…) and culminates in the Rite of Confirmation on Pentecost of the following, even-numbered year.
