Baptism is the first sacrament – one of the three “initiation” sacraments of the Catholic Church.
Baptism welcomes a child into our faith community of Catholic believers. It is the celebration that begins the faith life of the child in and with Christ. Because the child is unable to express their faith, the Church invites the parents into a preparation process prior to the Baptism Celebration. Through prayer, reflection, scripture, and faith sharing, parents are guided and supported in their responsibilities as faith witnesses for the child.
Holy Baptism holds the first place among the sacraments, because it is the door of the spiritual life; for by it we are made members of Christ and incorporated within the Catholic Church.
We rejoice with you who are preparing for the Baptism of your child! This interest, on your part, shows that you have a great love of God, and you desire to share this love with your child.
You must register with the parish to become a member prior to Baptism.
