The Sacrament of Baptism is the entrance into Christian life and the gateway to the other sacraments of the Catholic Church.  Through this sacrament, the stain of sin is washed away, we receive divine life and become members of the Body of Christ with an obligation to participate in the sacred liturgy and the mission of the Church.  Baptism is conferred validly through the washing with water and the recitation of the Trinitarian formula, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

Preparation for the Sacrament of Baptism takes place in a parish either in a baptism class for parents of an infant or young child who is to be baptized or through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process for children over the age of reason and adults. If you wish to be baptized into the Catholic faith, please contact Father to setup an appoitment.
