"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 incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: 'Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word'" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213).
Parents seeking baptism for children younger than age 7 are invited to participate in a formation process designed to prepare them to celebrate the sacrament of Baptism with their child. Parents should contact the Parish Office to initiate the formation process or to obtain further information about the commitment that is involved when requesting Baptism for their child. If you are interested in Baptism for a child age 7 or older, please contact the parish office for information about our catechumente process.
