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.
