Baptism Preparation

Baptism is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church; frequently called the "first sacrament" as it is the gateway to the rest of the sacraments.

Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of the mystical body of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word. (CCC: 1213)"

To have your child baptized you will need to be a member of our parish or live within our boundaries. Contact the parish office for the Baptism Package and the Registration Form.  You will need to read all the information and fill out the registration form and Appendix, to be returned to the parish, along with a copy of your child's birth certificate and a copy of the father's Roman Catholic Baptism certificate (if the father isn't a baptized Roman Catholic, then we require the mother's). If you have not had a child baptized in this parish, you will be required to meet with one of the priests for an interview and then do the online Baptism Preparation course. Only after these steps will a date be given. Baptisms occur usually on two Sundays a month at 1:30.
