The sacraments infuse holiness into the terrain of man’s humanity: they penetrate the soul and body, the femininity and masculinity of the personal subject, with the power of holiness.
— Pope Saint John Paul II
  • Our parish offers infant/child Baptism Preparation (through age 6) to help parents become the first and best teachers of their children in the ways of the Faith. Godparents may attend the Baptism Prep Class with the parents or in their home parish.

    Parents contact the parish at which they regularly attend and worship for Baptism Preparation. Those who do not reside in Christ the King’s parish boundaries are asked to receive permission from their home parish to have us celebrate the sacrament with you.

    For more information and to schedule a Baptism Prep Class, contact Marybeth mbpage@christthekingdenver.org in the parish office to schedule a class with our pastor.

    The Sacrament of Baptism is scheduled after parents and godparents complete the Baptism Prep process.
