Step 2. Complete the Online Certification Course. Email the completion certificate to Jen Daniels, jdaniels@maryofvernon.org no later than the Wednesday prior to the in-person session, or bring a printed copy with you to the in-person session.

Step 3: Call the parish office at 847-362-1005 to schedule your child's baptism. Both the online and the in-person component must be completed before a first child's baptism can be scheduled. Expectant couples are welcome and encouraged to complete this process before the child is born.

If this is not your first Catholic baptism, the baptism preparation process is recommended but not required. You may simply call the parish office to schedule the baptism.
