Sacraments - Baptism
Baptism
We strongly recommend that the Sacrament of Baptism be celebrated in the context of the regular Sunday Liturgy. However, it may be celebrated at 12:30pm on the first Sunday of the month. Expecting parents are asked to call the rectory to make arrangements for the required Baptismal Preparation Program.
Adults/and children of school age are received into the Church after attending a Catechumenate Program. Please call the rectory for more information. The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of Christian life, the entrance to the life in the Spirit and access to the other Sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from original sin, become heirs to the Kingdom of God, are incorporated into the Church and become sharers in the Mission of the Church.
