Baptism preparation is required for parents presenting their child to be baptized in the Catholic Church. St. Columbkille offers a one-time class that provides parents with information on child development, parenting, support for their marriage, family spirituality, baptismal history, and theology.
Child
Children, over age seven in need of baptism, participate in the Order of Christian Initiation of Children classes offered by the Religious Formation Office.

Parents are expected to participate in sacramental preparation during their child's formation.
Adult
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA is the process through which adults learn about the Catholic faith and discern whether to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (baptism, holy communion, confirmation) in order to be in Full Communion with the Catholic Church. Throughout OCIA, participants learn about the Catholic faith through prayer, study, and participation in the life of the parish community. If the Holy Spirit leads them to do so, they can then be confirmed in the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil. Please contact Deacon Pat Dempsey at (402) 339-0990 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
