Baptism

“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]

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. 

Baptisms are on the second, third and fourth Sundays of each month at 1:00 p.m., except when special factors may cause this schedule to vary.

Baptism is the first of three sacraments of initiation, and the beginning of a person’s lifelong faith journey.

Prior to a child’s Baptism, the parents are required to attend an instruction class to explore the meaning of baptism. This Baptismal Preparation occurs on the first Sunday of each month is held on the first Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom; baptisms occur the second and fourth Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m.
