anyone baptize at Maria Regina in Massapequa/Seaford?
If so, what was the process? How much did you have to "donate" and did you take a class? Just wanna know what to expect

My granddaughter was baptized there in April. I know they attended a class (they actually attended before the baby was even born) Not sure how much she "donated" I can check when I talk to her later and let you know.

Re: anyone baptize at Maria Regina in Massapequa/Seaford?
We have baptized both DDs here.
They never asked for any specific amount for a donation. We asked with DD1 what the suggested donation was and were told "whatever you wish to give"
They had us do a class, which was about an hourish long. They also had us in both times to meet with the Deacon/Priest briefly. Our first meeting was with the Deacon and we were there about an hour going over everything and getting the info about the class, the second we met with a Priest who basically said, ok, then pulled out the book and scheduled us.
They do them on Sundays at 1:30pm and it is not part of regular Mass.

I spoke to my daughter and she said she donated $50. They didnt specify an amount, just whatever you wish to give.

We just had DD and DS's baptism there 2 weeks ago.
Basically you can go to the rectory and pick a sunday (they will baptise up to 10 babies on a given sunday)
then you have to take a class which is given every 4th monday of the month. I think it started at 8 and lasted about an hour. We got a babysitter but other people brought their DC and it was fine. Godparents did not have to go but were welcome.
They didn't suggest a specific donation. We gave what we could afford. $50 for each kid.
Good luck

You watch a movie and then they basically talked about how the day would go. The deacon did do a little talking about how important it was to go to church
