Baptism is the first of the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church. It makes us adopted children of God, incorporates us into Christ, pardons all our sin, and forms us into God’s people. It confers a permanent relationship ("character") with Christ and his Church which lasts even should one cease to be an active member of the Catholic community. 

Bishops, priests and deacons are the ordinary ministers of baptism.

Baptism of infants takes place within the first few weeks after birth in the parish Church. It is highly desirable that baptisms take place during Sunday Eucharist when the parish community is assembled for worship. Otherwise, baptisms are scheduled by the parish, as required.

You must take a Baptism class if you have not within the last 3 years. Baptism class is offered the second Monday of each month. If you need to sign up for class, or would like more information, please contact Deacon Ryan by clicking below.
