  • BAPTISM

    • "Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spirtualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporate into the Church, and made sharers in her mission: 'Baptism is the Sacrament of regeneration through water in the Word.'"

      -Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1213

    • Process

      Step 1: Fill out the Baptism Inquiry Form

      Step 2: You will receive an email from our Director of Parish & Liturgical Life. The email will have:
      • The links to three baptism class videos if you have not taken a class with us yet.
      • A layout of the preparation process. 
      • Possible meeting days/times.

      Step 3: Watch the Classes 
      • Both parents need to watch the three videos for the Baptism Classes. (At the bottom of this page.)

      Step 4: Scheduling the Meeting
      • After watching the classes, please answer the email with you availably for the Baptism Preparation Meeting.

      Step 5: Attend the Baptism Preparation Meeting
      • This meeting will be around an hour long.
      • Both parents need to attend this meeting, preferably in person
      • We will go over the videos, the Rite of Baptism, Godparents, resources, and scheduling the Baptism.

      Step 6: Confirm Baptism Schedule 
      • You will receive a confirmation email with the day and time of the scheduled Baptism.
      • This email may also include the Godparent contact and eligibility forms if they were not given at the meeting.

      Step 7: Choose Godparents
      • You will need to choose at least one Godparent that meets all the requirements that will have been discussed at the meeting. If you are choosing to have two Godparents, one must be female and the other must be male.
      • Each Godparent will have to fill out an Eligibility Form and have their Home Parish complete it with their seal. This form must be mailed to our Parish before the Baptism.

      Step 8: The Baptism
      • The big day has come! Your child should be dressed in their white baptismal gown or outfit. Friends and family are welcome to join you as well. The Baptism will either take place during Mass or outside of Mass, depending on scheduling. 
      • Congratulations on the baptism of your child(ren)! Please know of our prayers for you and your family during this exciting time!
