Baptism

A priest performs a baptism ceremony in a church with a young girl, surrounded by stained glass windows and observers.
Our Lord made a covenant with us through baptism in order to give us eternal life.
— St. Basil the Great

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.

How can I baptize my baby?

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! We are thrilled to walk alongside you as parents and be part of your child's journey with Jesus Christ and His Church, beginning with the sacrament of Baptism. Through Baptism, your child is welcomed into God's family and receives the grace of salvation, made possible by Jesus' death and resurrection. We look forward to celebrating this special moment with you!

Please call or email the parish office to register for baptism and baptismal preparation.

How can an adult be baptized?

Adults who wish to be baptized in the Catholic Church and receive the other sacraments of initiation—Confession and Eucharist—participate in a program called the Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly known as RCIA). This program helps prepare them for these important sacraments.
