"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

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

We have a few choices for baptism. Infant baptism will need to come in 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.  Please contact Beth Rosales (rosales@ic-olph.org) for more information
