"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."

Matthew 28: 19-20

The sacrament of baptism ushers us into the divine life, cleanses us from sin, and initiates us as members of the Christian community. It is the foundation for the sacramental life.

Baptism is celebrated at our weekend Masses. Parents are required to contact the Baptism minister at the Parish Office to schedule an introductory meeting. Parents and Godparents are also required to attend a Baptism class.

We have a few choices for baptism. Infant baptism needs to fill out a registration form, attend baptism preparation class and bring a copy of your child's birth certificate.

Any child 7 years and older will enroll in the Rite of Christian Initiation adapted for Children program. These children will be attending classes to prepare for the reception of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil Celebration.
