Catholic parents have a primary role in forming their children in Christian discipleship. New and expecting parents are invited to explore ways to live faith in their homes and raise their children to follow Jesus prior to scheduling their baby’s baptism. Baptisms are celebrated within the context of Mass at St. Robert of Newminster Parish at the 4:30 p.m. Mass on the First Saturday of the month and at the 11:00 a.m. Mass on the Second Sunday of the month.
