Two mandatory Parent Meetings are held for each sacrament. Information about the sacrament is given, and at least one parent must attend each meeting. For your convenience, they are held at the same time as PSR classes: Sunday morning, 9:45 - 10:45 a.m. and Wednesday evening, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. See PSR Calendar.
An original baptismal certificate for the student must be provided at the first Parent Meeting. It will be copied and returned. This is not required of children who were baptized at St. Peter’s.
