How do I arrange for my child's Baptism?

Registered parishioners with infants to be baptized will need to participate in a preparatory session and must contact the parish office three months before they would like their child baptized. Baptisms are scheduled upon the availability of a priest or deacon. More information can be found here. Please call the Parish Office at 503-769-2656.

Adults wishing reception into the church will participate in evening sessions learning about the Catholic faith and practices. The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or OCIA sessions begin each year in September and finish during the Easter season. Baptisms take place at the Easter Vigil Service. Please go to Becoming Catholic for more details.

How do I receive Confirmation?

All high school students registered as Immaculate Conception Church parishioners are eligible to begin the two-year Confirmation program beginning in their freshman year of high school. For more information, contact our youth ministry coordinator by emailing youthm@immacstayton.org

Registered adults who are baptized but not knowledgeable of Catholic beliefs and practices are asked to join the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) sessions. See Becoming Catholic under Faith Formation for more details. For detailed information email dre@immastayton.org

How do I get married in the Church?

Congratulations on your engagement! Your first step should be contacting the parish office to get started.

Please note, we require a time period of at least six months between the initial meeting with the parish staff and the wedding ceremony. This will ensure adequate preparation for this lifetime commitment.

I am not Catholic. How do I join the Catholic Church?

RCIA, or the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process that enables those interested in the Catholic Faith to become more knowledgeable of what it means to lead a Catholic life. It begins with a ten-week inquiry class in September. During this time participants are encouraged to ask any questions that they may have. We also give an overview of the Catholic Church. This beginning period is designed to help participants determine whether they wish to continue the process. Following the inquiry sessions, those who wish to continue, meet weekly until the period of Lent to learn more about the Catholic way of life. Lent (the six weeks before Easter) is a time of spiritual discernment and prayer culminating in reception into the Church at the Easter Vigil Mass on the Saturday before Easter. Please contact Trish West at 503-769-2656 more information.
