The Sacrament of Baptism

For the time being, Baptisms at St. Stephen will be performed outside of the Mass one weekend* of every month and rotate between 10:00 a.m. on Saturday and 9:30 a.m. on Sunday in between the Masses. A full schedule is listed below. 

Please contact the parish office at (616) 243-8998 ext 201 or contact us. Parents who are baptizing their first child must attend a baptismal preparation class.

If you are discerning baptism as an adult, please contact Brittany Renne, our Coordinator of Faith Formation, or see our page regarding the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults for more information.

*At this time, we are only able to accommodate one family per date. Because of this, we are adding more dates outside of the schedule. Please contact the parish office to reserve a date. Dates are subject to change at the discretion of the Pastor and to accommodate other parish activities. We will make every effort to give as much advance notice as possible should a date need to be rescheduled.
