Baptism
Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation into the Christian life.
Baptism cleanses a person from original sin, bestows the grace of new birth in the Holy Spirit, and welcomes the individual into the Church community.
Benefits of being Baptized into the Catholic Faith:
- Cleansing from original sin
- Initiation into the Christian community
- Reception of sanctifying grace
- Becoming a child of God as a member of the Church
When Baptisms Occur:
Baptisms are celebrated on the second and fourth Sunday of every month following the last Mass (11am Mass May-Dec, or 1pm Mass Jan-Apr).
How to Receive Baptism:
- Parents requesting Baptism for their child must be registered parishioners and participating members of the parish.
- Parents and godparents are required to attend a preparation class.
- It is recommended that preparation class be completed before the baby arrives.
- Contact the Parish Office to schedule the Baptism and preparation class.
