| How Do I Join The Parish?
The pastor prefers to personally register new members. Prospective new members are asked to
call (262) 284-0276 and schedule an appointment to become a registered member of the parish.
How Do I Arrange For A Baptism?
Active and Registered members may schedule a baptism by contacting the Parish Office.
Normally parents, and ideally godparents, will be asked to participate in a pre-baptismal
program focusing on the meaning and significance of the Sacrament of Baptism. The pre-baptismal
program is offered on the first Saturday of each month. Baptisms are scheduled on the second
Sunday of each month. Parents who are not registered members of the Parish are required to
register and become active members before the Baptism of the child will be scheduled.
Does Immaculate Conception Offer A Catholic Grade School Education?
Immaculate Conception is committed to Catholic School education as the most effective support
system for parents in the Catholic education of their children. While Immaculate Conception does
not operate its own Catholic Grade School, it has an operating agreement with Port Catholic and
with Rosemary School to provide a Catholic Grade School education for the children of its members.
Through these arrangements parents are entitled to the parishioner rate for tuition and can obtain
bus transportation to the Catholic School in their district. Call the Parish Office for more specific
details.
How Do I Enroll My Child/Children In The Religious Education Program?
Parents who have had children in the program during the previous school year will receive a

asked to call the Director of Religious Education (284-0277) or the Parish Office (284-0276) for
information on registering their children in the program. Parents are required to be registered
and active members of the Parish before their children will be accepted in the Religious Education
Program.

Registered and active members are to arrange for a marriage with the pastor at least six
months before the intended marriage date. The instructional process and the assessment process
as well as the requirements of divine and church law need to be fulfilled in advance of the
intended marriage date. Marriages are scheduled at Immaculate Conception Church only when at
least one of the persons marrying is an active member of the Parish.
