Baptism

Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway into life in the Holy Spirit and the door that gives access to all the other Sacraments.  To read more about Baptism, click here (Catechism of the Catholic Church on Baptism).

Infants
Congratulations to you on the occasion of your child’s birth!  We look forward to welcoming your child into the Christian community through the Sacrament of Baptism.  While recognizing that parents have the primary responsibility of bringing up their child in the practice of the faith, we wish to support you amid the challenges of contemporary living.  We encourage parents to be a part of our worshiping community each and every weekend.

  • St. Joseph: We invite parents and sponsors to participate in a two hour program of adult education prior to setting the date for baptism.  Contact the rectory for that information. 781-396-0423.
  •  
  • St. Francis of Assisi: 2nd Sunday of the month 12:30 PM. Catechesis for first time parents is held on the last Sunday of every month after the 11:00 AM Mass in the Upper Church. Please call the parish office to register. 781-396-3400.

Adults
Thank you for your interest in becoming Catholic! We look forward to accompanying you on your journey
of discernment. For more information, please visit the RCIA section of this website or contact Deacon Bob Breen.
