Sacrament
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.”
— Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213
Many Catholics receive the sacrament of baptism as infants, in the presence of their parents and godparents. Through the saving waters of baptism, Catholics believe that we are washed clean from the stain of original sin caused by the sin of Adam and Eve.
The grace we receive in baptism also makes us children of God the Father and welcomes us into the Catholic Church.
For parents who would like their child to be baptized, baptismal registration, preparation, and scheduling at our parish can be arranged with our pastor or deacon through the parish office.
For teenagers (ages 13+) and adults who wish to be baptized, please make an appointment with the parish office to speak with our pastor or contact our RCIA coordinator for guidance and preparation.
