Sacrament of Baptism

Baptisms are arranged by appointment with the Pastor and to schedule a

Baptism Preparation Class. Please call the Parish Office 908-789-0280, ext. 10.

Parents are the first & best teachers of their children in Faith.

Arrangements must be made with the Pastor to ensure there is adequate preparation time.

Those who recognize the call to Religious life, the Priesthood, or the order of deacon are invited to contact the Pastor.

Religious Education classes for children are conducted on Sunday mornings (twice a month).

The program is re-starting in the Fall. 

Information on how to register is now available in the Church and on our website.

First Penance and Holy Communion are both received in the Second Grade at St. Anne's. We use the Family Formation series which incorporates Scripture and the Lives of the Saints into the weekly lessons. Classes are held on Sundays during Religious Education. The Sacrament of Penance is typically received mid-January, and Holy Communion the first Sunday of May. Children preparing to receive these Sacraments are expected to attend Mass regularly, know how to make the Sign of the Cross, be able to recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be, and have basic knowledge of beginners catechism. For questions and registration, please contact the parish office.  

 Confirmation preparation begins in Fall of 9th grade and concludes with the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Spring. (Students in High School but not yet Confirmed can also register.) A candidate must be baptized and a desire to participate in their faith and church community. For questions and registration, please contact the parish office. 

The sacrament is available to those unable to come to Church due to sickness, age, or incapacity. Please call the Rectory to make arrangements. Emergencies anytime.
