Baptism
To begin the baptism process for your child, please complete this Baptism Registration Form.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the beginning of our journey in faith as Catholics. The first of the three sacraments of
initiation, baptism cleanses us from sin and welcomes us into the Church. We baptize children as infants.
Baptisms for children (ages 0-6 years) may be scheduled on the first and third weekends of the month, both during and after Masses.
Baptism preparation is required for first-time parents. We encourage parents who need preparation to contact the parish office at least two months prior to a desired baptism date.
The next Baptism Preparation Class is September 22, 2024 at 11:30 am. We will prayerfully walk through the Rite of Baptism and learn about the meaning of the ancient and rich Sacramental symbols. All are welcome! In addition to new parents, parents who would like a "refresher" or godparents wishing to deepen their understanding of Baptism are also encouraged to attend.
