Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, making us sons and daughters of God and members of the Body of Christ and freeing us from sin. Through Baptism, we are welcomed into the Catholic Church, the community of faith. When we are baptized, the Holy Spirit comes to live in us. Baptism enables us to receive the other sacraments and to grow in the life of the Risen Christ.

Many Catholics receive this sacrament as infants. Before infants are baptized, the parents (and often the godparents as well) receive preparation for their child’s sacramental faith journey. Adults and teenagers who have not been baptized and who wish to become Catholic usually participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. After this period of formation, they receive the Sacraments of Initiation, which include Baptism.

If you are interested in registering yourself or your child to receive the Sacrament of Baptism, please fill out this form and our team will be in touch. Let us know if you have any further questions and we would be happy to assist you.

The parents of children to be baptized must take instruction and pledge to bring up their children in the Faith. Adults who have not received this sacrament participate in a RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) program prior to Baptism.
