Baptism

Baptism is the first and essential Sacrament for a Christian. It is the doorway through which one enters the pathway that leads to eternal life. Cleansed from sin and infused with the graces of the Holy Spirit, the newly baptized Christian begins the journey toward God. 
 

Infant Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is offered monthly for infants whose parents have completed a short program of sacramental preparation. To request Baptism for an individual under 16 years of age, please complete this form online.

Adult Baptism

Men and women seeking Baptism normally enter the Church at the Easter Vigil after participating in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). However, adult Baptisms also can occur throughout the year following a period of instruction in the Faith. To request more information for individuals over 16 years and older, contact Deacon Jim Collom.
