Baptism

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, 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. (CCC1213)

Baptism

Infant Baptism

Congratulations! Baptism is a beginning of the child’s faith life. As the child grows and matures, parents are the first and most important teachers of the faith, as you lead your child into a deeper relationship with Christ by your words and your example. As a parish, we are blessed and privileged to help you in this endeavor.

Typically, Baptisms are celebrated on the first and third Sundays of every month at 12:30pm.

Upcoming Dates for 2025:
May 4 and 18
June 1 and 15
July 6 and 20

Adult baptism

Youth and Adult Baptism

In Baptism, we become adopted children of God, are made part of Christ’s Body the Church, and are freed from sin.  This first sacrament of Christian initiation opens the door to the other sacraments.  Jesus opens the door to the kingdom of God to all who are baptized in water and the Holy Spirit.
