Baptism

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: 'Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.'" (C.C.C. 1213)

Bringing our children to the Baptismal font is the first step of our Christian Initiation.

The parish will work to help the parents and the God-parents (of children under 6 years) come to a fuller understanding of this beautiful Sacrament. A session for parents and godparents is offered throughout the year with Baptisms scheduled at the end of each month.

Items needed:  

• Register in the Faith Formation Office 
• Copy of the child's birth certificate
• Godparents's Confirmation and Marriage certificate (Some restrictions apply)

Children from 1st grade and older receive the Sacrament of Baptism through Faith Formation Sessions. If you need more information please contact Stephanie Moran in our Faith Formation Office.
