The Sacrament of Baptism
-
Congratulations to our new and expectant parents! In seeking Baptism for your child, you make a promise to journey with your child. You are the first teachers and your child of our faith.
We look forward to helping you and your family grow in your faith and relationship with God and share in this special occasion when your child is initiated through the Sacrament of Baptism into the Catholic faith community! Our baptism ministry reacquaints parents with the purpose of baptism and its sacramental significance in order to help them prepare for their child's baptism. It provides a deeper understanding of the sacrament and the responsibilities connected to bringing children into the Body of Christ.
