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 may be scheduled following a weekend Mass.
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 scheduled for Sunday, June 25, 2023 from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm. 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.
To begin the baptism process, please complete this Baptism Registration Form.
